Popular Airsoft - KamiWars/Rapier 01 moved to 2010

Popular Airsoft have sent out some updates in relation to their upcoming events:

Last September 26, 2009, Typhoon Ondoy (international name: Ketsana) hit the Philippines, causing massive devastation, flooding and deaths. In a matter of hours, about a month’s worth of rain fell on Metro Manila, submerging 80 percent of the capital city under water. Barely a week after, Typhoon Pepeng (Parma) ravaged Northern Luzon, destroying thousands of square meters of farmlands. Reports of the number of displaced citizens range from 60,000 to 500,000, with at least 300 people killed. The local government and various private relief workers concede that they are overwhelmed by the scale of the destruction. Other parts of Southeast Asia were not spared, as the two typhoons continued its destructive paths toward Vietnam and Taiwan.

The airsoft community has not been spared, as a great majority of the airsoft population in the Philippines are from the Metro Manila and Luzon regions.

In light of these most recent calamities, and realizing the impending financial difficulties that Filipino and Southeast Asian Airsofters face in the coming months, we at Popular Airsoft Magazine postpone the staging of Rapier 01: The 1st World Airsoft Challenge and the Kami Wars tentaively set on the 10-13 of June 2010 (please stay tuned with this), and instead, bring you Ratratan 2009: SLOW BURN, a Fund-raising Fellowship Game that will benefit the victims of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. This will also serve as a kick-off event for the new dates of the international events. This decision spurred from countless requests from our brothers-in-arms for assistance in whatever form. We at Popular Airsoft believe that it is never enough to remember the less fortunate in thoughts alone. Let us remember them by our deeds.

Ratratan 2009 will be held in lieu of Rapier 01 and Kami Wars on 28 or 29 November 2009 at the Nayong Pilipino in Pasay City, Metro Manila. Final date will be posted immediately.

We would like to request the International Airsoft Community to help out our fellow Filipino Airsofters by donating or contributing something to our Ratratan 2009 Charity Game. Please email us at info@popularairsoft.com to enquire about helping our brothers and sisters.

All players and sponsors who have made payments, please do contact us at events@popularairsoft.com to get your full refund.

In solidarity with our fellows in the Philippines. We remain.

Tour of Duty event Nov 21st – 22nd at EAG Dorking

There will be a big event at Elite Dorking at the end of November, here are the details (sent in by John at EAG):

“Tour of Duty”

November 21st – 22nd Elite Action Games Dorking

Strategic Overview

Tet 1968. As had become the norm in recent years, both the US / ARVN forces and the NVA/VC observed a truce during the New Year. ARVN forces were stood down and many personnel had returned to their family homes to celebrate. US forces were on a lesser state of alert. No-one in a position of authority expected anything other than Tet fireworks and hangovers.

The North Vietnamese had other plans. Having amassed considerable numbers of men and supplies in the south of the country under the noses of MACV, they were preparing to break the truce and to bring the war into the towns and cities of the South. No longer would the struggle be confined to the villages and paddy fields of Vietnam.

As the military machine in the South wound down to enjoy the New Year celebrations, the North was poised to attack…

Force disposition

The NVA/VC forces will be predominantly formed of infantry units, whose duty is to fight and to occupy and hold objectives. Limited use will be made of specialist teams – intelligence gathering, recon, sappers etc

US Forces will be more varied, comprising grunts, MACV-SOG, LURPS and Intel experts, skilled in the use of electronic intelligence devices.

Both forces will be given company commanders, additional command roles will be allocated to team leaders and a liaison officer (responsible for communicating with game officials) will be assigned.

Basic Objectives:

Having withdrawn from the forward Command Post, the US chain of command has decided that it now has strategic value and must be reoccupied. In addition to this the Australian outpost and nearby village are of key value.

The NVA/VC will attempt to seize, control and hold certain key objectives in and around Saigon and Cholon. These will include the Radio Station, the US Embassy, and certain designated targets such as the headquarters of the Saigon Police Force. Other objectives may be assigned as the battle progresses.

US forces will attempt to repel the attack by the NVA/VC. In addition to defending all key objectives, they must re-take any key locations that fall into NVA/VC hands. Allowing them to remain under the control of the enemy is simply not an option.

Both forces will be provided with a grid-map of the site. These maps will detail the location of all key, strategic objectives. The NVA/VC map will have all targets highlighted, along with the value of each target. They should ensure that these maps do not fall into the hands of US forces lest they be alerted to targets as yet untouched. (Elite Action Games)

NAM Ia Drang weekend update

Gunman Airsoft have sent over an important bit of news from them concerning the NAM Ia Drang weekend:

Breaking News from Gunman Airssoft about the NAM Ia Drang weekend.

Hi folks, breaking news about the Ia Drang Vietnam weekend on the 24-25 October.

Due to an unfortunate and unforeseen change to the site policy at the Redditch site we had booked, we have had to postpone this event until early next year. We have found a site at Worchester which is large enough for the Battle, has fantastic features and will allow for the choppers to take off and land. Ill have a date confirmed and will update the forum as soon as I sign the paper work.

Instead we have offered a Deployment weekend at our Tuddenham Site in Suffolk for £35 or FREE if you have already booked on and paid for the main event. More details can be found on our public forum http://gunmanairsoft.co.uk/forum/ about the Deployment weekend.

To all the guys that have supported this venture and left their money in the game which so far is all of them, a huge thanks from the Gunman team. You won’t be disappointed.

THIS MAIN EVENT IS NOT CANCELLED only postponed and we are still taking bookings. (Gunman Airsoft)

AI500 - Operation: Red Reign

Published

on 22:55 September 4, 2009

November 13-15th 2009

In the dark hourse of Mid November, Chinese and North Korean Special Operations Forces, led by Russian Spetznaz forces, make a daring and surprise drop into the small town of Marina, California. This little sleepy town just became the front for what could become World War III.

Britain and the United States stand alone in the face of a global communist threat. Now, behind enemy lines, US and British Special Forces must work together to blunt the offensive launched on US soil.

Even worse, intel reports suggest a possible horror never seen before used on US Soil - the use of Chemical and Bio weapons. Fears that the North Koreans have developed a new bio weapon so frightening, so destructive, that just a few canisters of this vial weapon could decimate the West Coast.

This weapon, designated "Red Reign" must never be released…

Join us for the most intense Urban combat on the west coast!

Iron Eagle – WW2 Eastern Front game

Published

on 19:37 September 4, 2009

Josh from Gunman has been in touch with details of the latest in their series of Iron Cross WW2 games:

Iron Eagle – ‘Eastern Front - Border Battle’

Suddenly and without warning, early on the morning of 22 June 1941, over three million Axis forces lunged across the Soviet state border and commenced Hitler’s infamous Operation Barbarossa. Spearheaded by four powerful panzer groups and protected by an impenetrable curtain of air support, the seemingly invincible Wehrmacht advanced from the Soviet Union’s western borders to the immediate outskirts of
Leningrad, Moscow, and Rostov in the shockingly brief period of less than six months.

Faced with this sudden, deep, and relentless German advance.
The first of the Eastern Front battles will see the German advance into Russia, with Minsk in sight, can the Red Army hold of the advance of the superior German war machine.

The first game will be an Ops weekend at Tuddenham, it will be Russian vs German (no Brit or US) but i’m happy for you to use any 2ww weapons or Bolt actions;) Kit wise, if you have nothing, ill have a pile of russian and german clothing to rent out FREE!

More info to follow!

What is Iron Eagle?

The Iron Eagle campaign is based on a German Advance rather than the Allied D-Day battle which are more Allied based games. We have chosen the Eastern front to add a new dynamic to 2ww Airsoft and using the same format as D-Day, there will be Operations weekends followed by main battles at fitting sites and all the stops will get pulled out to make every weekend truly memorable. Hope to see you all in the field.
