TEAM PROFILE
UNIT
13
U
nit 13 has a MilSim-like
approach to airsoft tactics,
but we don’t take ourselves
too seriously or have a ‘big
team’ attitude.
The team is unusual in the way it
is broken into ever-growing squads of
various sizes, at various home sites and
locations. Each squad has its own name,
badge and identity. Run locally by their
Headhunters (Unit Admin), they work
together and play under the Unit 13 flag.
Squads are set up so friends and
teammates that play in one area or site
can come together and play without
the breakdown or isolation large teams
have over large areas. Each squad runs
independently on a player level, but at
our heart is a strong team spirit.
Unit 13 has what we call a selection
process for new players. Applicants are
watched and skirmished with before
Unit 13 is one of the
largest selection-based
teams in the UK, with
more than 50 members.
Scott Finch (AKA Hex)
tells us more…
joining, to make sure they match the
team’s high standard for sportsmanship
and positive attitude. This can take some
time but we believe that, by doing things
this way, we get players we can all be
proud to call teammates.
The team includes all kinds of players,
with various experiences and abilities.
We all play with the simple goal of having
a laugh and enjoying our sport, while
embracing healthy competition.
Unit 13 is a democracy and the team’s
vote counts. To date the unit boasts some
four squads:
■ UNIT 13 – Originals
■ UNIT 13 – Black Dragons
■ UNIT 13 – Vipers
■ UNIT 13 – Raptors
We are also currently working on a
new squad in Hong Kong.
