Airsoft Action 04 - Xmas 2011 | Page 41

SITE REVIEW “Smoke-filled corridors made it easy to stay in the shadows, pop off a couple of silenced P99 shots and watch the ensuing confusion as Yellow Team thought they had engaged their own team in friendly fire!” around buildings much more effectively. In all honesty I think this is due to the fact the majority of sites in Scotland are woodland – players just aren’t used to moving through buildings every game day. I suspect this mindset and style of play will change very quickly now Fife Wargames is on the scene. My personal favourite game of the day was Last Stand. Our team was holed up in one of the larger buildings, with dozens of access points, corridors, windows and rooms with old animal pens to hide in and fight through. The Last Stand was where we finally did some good damage to the attacking team. Smoke-filled corridors made it easy about this wündersite that was just a few weeks old, and they all wanted a slice of the action. We saw faces, old and new, from NCIS Airsoft, Section 8, The Fort, The Deserters Club and more. All in all nearly 100 players took part – a big turnout for a Scottish site. We get signed in, took a quick look around and immediately realised this site is something special. Little did we know we had only seen a small part of it and in total it’s around four times bigger than we thought – the place is a warren of buildings, corridors, bunkers and the occasional herd of sheep. This site is nothing short of an airsofter’s dream! The first game was a nice and simple ‘prevent your VIP from being killed’ scenario. We failed miserably and, oddly enough, except the outer walls we didn’t use a single building. Once we got more to grips with the site a variety of WMD seek and deliver, Fallback and Land Grab type games saw the fighting moving in and www.airsoftactionmagazine.com 041
