Welcome to the TA Events Newsletter
As the title says, welcome to the first official monthly TA Events Newsletter. The aim of the newsletter is to provide you with the latest dates and details about up and coming games by TA Events, from Open Warfare skirmish level games through to the international events such as Phoenix Rising.
PR2 Now taking place at Sennybridge
BOOKING NOW OPEN!!!
In case you are not aware already, the bid for Copehill Down Village was lost due to British Army training needs. This was always a risk with a village such as CDV and is the reason why I did not want to open the bookings until everything had been approved.

Here’s the press release concerning the FULDA GAP event in Taylorsville, NC on the 1st/2nd of November:
FULDA GAP 2008 returns to Command Decisions Wargame Center in Taylorsville/Bethlehem, NC, USA on November 1 & 2, 2008:
All players and reenactors are invited to attend one of the East Coast’s LARGEST and BEST Airsoft theme events of the year!
Fulda Gap is an historic representation of the East-West standoff across the Iron Curtain in the 1980’s. Complete with NATO and Warsaw Pact command cells, armored vehicles, simulated air strikes, artillery barrages, NBC attacks, and even the threat of tactical nuclear annihilation! Each team will have tactical and operational objectives to accomplish over a rugged 70+ acre complex of firebases, trench lines and terrain that echo’s the West German frontier of the Cold War.
This year’s event will be held the weekend BEFORE Command Decision’s massive Paintball game at the same field, so those who don’t want to get slime on their gear will be in the all-clear.
Information from Command Decisions is available here. Latest Forum Chat for NCAirsoft. org is at this link http://www.ncairsoft.org
Promo Video for the event is here.
We hope to see you there! Alan, (FULDA GAP)

Dave is looking to run a two day event near Salisbury (exact details to be confirmed). Here’s what is known so far:
Hey guys, I’m looking at running a two day event in Wiltshire near Salisbury. Most of the 1st day will be training for patrol techniques and other field craft activities. I spent 2year in 7rifles so I will be running the training.
After the training is completed, two teams will be created both will go to separate harbour areas and set up for the night. Later night patrols will be mounted. On each patrol everyman will have 3 lives throughout the night stagg will be mounted as both teams have the option of attacking at any time.
The training you receive in the morning will prepare you for the games, team play will be essential. on the 2nd day, objective based attack/defend games will be played in the morning, these will run on attackers 6-lives defenders-3 score will be kept and counted.
After these games there will be time for any games that the attendees want. Contact me at jellybelly79@hotmail.com if you interested date will be confirmed price for 2 days will be around £40. Date and location will be set (but likely to be around the Fovant Broad Chalke areaclose to Salisbury) when I’m sure there is enough interest. Feel free to contact me with any questions. You will require any kit that you would need for a night in the field, the socomtactical.net shop will be on site for the 1st day.

Copehill Down Village - 6th / 7th December 2008
Phoenix Rising II - The Crossroads
TA Events returns to the Copehill Down Village for the only event to take place this year in the crown jewel of Europe’s purpose built FIBUA villages.
Rarely do Airsoft players have the opportunity to play in such a prestigious arena, and the Copehill Down Village is just that.
However, it must be emphasised that TA Events has only a provisional booking for the village at this stage and that the village will not be secured until the middle of September. However, the plan is to have the village booking secured before the tickets go on sale.
DON’T MISS OUT!

Here’s an update from LT MAC reference OP: Liberty Canyon:
Helicopter secured for OP: Liberty Canyon Sept 27th Wolcott CT
MACV has secured a Bell Jet Ranger 206B helicopter for the OP: Liberty Canyon Sept 27th Wolcott CT.
Operation web site: http://www.macvairsoft.com/dogsthroat/index.html
United States Army transport was not available so we have secured a civilian helo for MACV use. Pending town approval (we anticipate getting it next week) United States forces will use the chopper for transport of troops, prisoner transport, and LRRP over flights on September 27th from 0800 to 1200 hours. All United States forces registered and paid for the game will have flight time in the bird for $25 to cover the fuel costs. VC / NVA troops should contact me if you want to be involved in the air operations as prisoners or other character actors. We will have a full camera crew that will take your pictures and you will be able to take your digital cameras on board to record your flight. The following YouTube video shows the flight that my team took last weekend at RECONDO school.
