The TA Events newsletter has gone out, please see below:
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.

Elite have launched their own newsletter:
As always at Elite we try to push the envelope. So that said and done here is what we are doing now! We started our own little magazine……. (News letter). Welcome to the world of Elite Warrior, our quarterly free download magazine. Firstly we are not trying to compete with the glossy Airsoft mags, nor the other subscription or free download mags. I guess what we are trying to do is write a news letter for Airsoft in the South, but it has turned into more… Is it perfect? No, not by a long way. Is it the best most comprehensive Airsoft read? No. Will it become the must have quarterly read for Airsoft? Well, you never know where these things go…..but probably not. In truth this started as a way to advertise Elite, then changed into a few of us writing about the kit we used and why and before you know it we have a magazine of sorts.
Anyway, the best part of all of this, is we would like all of you to write articles if you want to. Please don’t make them too long and if you include pictures, ensure you have the copyright. Also please keep it Airsoft and relevant. So if you want to be published, offer up your wisdom or just point of view and not get paid for it. Drop me an email at john@eliteactiongames.com. I can’t promise to include everything but I will come back to you and let you know what will happen to the article.
So if you want to down load a copy please go to www.eliteactiongames.com/elitewarrior and have a look.
Feel free to let us know what you think. Oh and yes we know there are a few mistakes here and there, but as my teachers always said to me “must try harder” maybe in the next issue we will.
John, (Elite Action Games)

Why compromise play at Close Action
Dino has sent in word of their new ShadowOpz site based in Kent. Their website is currently showing a 404 but I’m sure that’ll clear up shortly:
Our objective is to give you an experience which will not be forgotten, here you can find out about our latest operations and milsims. This site is dedicated to providing info for those who dare to taste the ShadowOpz Combat experience.
We generally combine Tactical Airsoft play with some military live action role-playing elements. Several goals or missions are assigned to each team as a foundation for confrontation in firefights and other simulated military-style combat.
In contrast to a standard skirmish, , we put less emphasis on speed and more emphasis on military tactics. Our games are usually scheduled to last between 1 and 3 hours , or can run over an entire weekend. In more elaborate cases, games may be played overnight, so strategic elements such as setting up observation posts, sleeping quarters, maintaining perimeter security and the like are added to the experience.
Another aspect of our games is the global desire for players to look and feel the part . Hence, our games may have uniform or clothing requirements specific to the scenario being played.
In our safe zone we have our own food and refreshments van and a communal area were you can relax at any time through out the day. Dino (ShadowOpz)
There’s a new game being held at http://www.dragonvalley.co.uk:
Something strange is going on in Nevada. Not on the Vegas strip but around the mysterious Area 51. Local cattle and sheep mutilations are up by over 1000% and strange lights have been seen in the sky. The locals don’t know what they are, but they’re sick of abductions and strange occurrences. The army, long kept out of Area 51 are keen to get back in, and the men in black just want to keep everyone out until their plan is complete. The scene is set for an armed confrontation…
All airsofters (aged 16 or over) are welcome to join us on the weekend of 23/24 August 2008 to help us find out what’s been going on. (The Monday is the bank holiday so there will be a day to recover!)
We’ve got a sizeable marshalling team to ensure a safe fun day, a bucking bronco and other entertainment for the evening, and full catering on-site including an ice-cream van!
For more details, check out: http://www.dragonvalley.co.uk/tci/
All the info is on there, you can book online and bookings are being taken as I type!

Elite Action Games have been hard at work developing their gaming site:
New Developments at Elite Action Games Dorking!
Well its been a busy start to the year with various new things happening at EAG Dorking.
The safe zone is still moving forward with the replacement of the temporary canopies now complete. Both sides of the safe zone are complete with plans to cross the back and build a center section to accommodate more players. In addition to this we have finally convinced the paintball owners of the site to do something about the blasted road. So you won’t need a tank to access the site anymore!!!
Out in the field we have also been busy building three new gaming areas and adding to existing features. The US command post (CP) and surrounding foxholes now sport over a thousand sandbags and all are covered with camouflage, they literally jump out at you. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been asked where the CP is and pointed out they are only 20 meters or so away.
The British forces HQ (Camp Bastion) is nearing completion with various bunkers, a sniper tower and HQ. We’ve played this area a few times now and it fights really well.
The wilderness fort equally adds to the site, offering a intense firefight on route to the CP.
Our latest addition is the new WWII styled bunker or "minimi bunker", this sport 360 degree cover near a natural choke point (nasty), hard work to take but good fun equally.
Lastly, we’ve also done a load of work in the village, adding tons of extra cover and new buildings.
With on onset of summer the tree canopy is thickening, the ferns are starting their upwards clime and EAG are getting set for another summer of varied airsoft warfare, in the ever change landscape that is EAG Dorking.

Gucci from First and Only has been in touch with news with a special event coordinated with South West Wargames:
South West Wargames In association with First & Only corporate events are proud to present :
HOUSE OF WAR!
‘Battle for Qala-i-jangi’
31st May – 1st June 2008 – Book Now!
Hosted at a unique site “Scraesdon Fort” is an old Napoleonic Fort that is used by the Royal Marines for CQB training. The site has never been used for an Airsoft event before and is sure to be an amazing and unique Airsoft experience. We have gone all out to provide you with a scenario that compliments the venue and will lead to some great intense and hardcore battle experiences.
Scenario:
The battle for Qala-i-jangi, Afghanistan, November 2001, was one of the bloodiest and intense battles of the Afghan war to date. The uprising of the Taliban, prisoners and subsequent battle with Northern Alliance forces and US/UK special forces was sparked when CIA personnel threatened to kill prisoners while they were interrogating them!
Join the Taliban uprising, overpower the guards and capture the ammo dumps. Arm yourselves and capture the fort. The infidels must pay with their lives – Jihad! Or
Join the Northern Alliance and US/UK special forces as they try to contain the Taliban forces within the fort, recover the CIA operative and bomb them back to the stone age.
Fighting will be close and intense, the fort has 3 main levels and goes deep underground. It won’t be an easy fight for either side and casualties will be high.
Costs:
All this for only £100 or (£85 if you do not require the catering service) £15 for 4 great meals and no messing about! Check out the great menu http://www.swwargames.co.uk/itinerary.html
If you are interested then please book now as we only have a limited amount of places.
Please book online at http://www.swwargames.co.uk/book.html or call Gary on 07921 992 450

Mike over at Spec Ops has sent in news of their opening game that will be held on the 20th of April in Dorset:
SPEC OPS - NEW SKIRMISH SITE IN DORSET
OPENING GAME 20th APRIL
http://www.specops.co.uk
We have formed a new woodland site at Bloxworth, near Bere Regis in Dorset. It will be a site open to everybody, with no ammo load out limits or restrictions and standard UK site fps limits. It will all be on the ‘Broadreach’ section which is 2500 acres and encompasses every type of woodland including rivers. We will only use relatively small sections on a game day, varying the location as and when we see fit. We have constructed a new entrance road, car park, toilets, shelters and a covered shop/cooking facility, but most importantly we have built bases. Some of these are a proper military type, ie dug-outs with sandbag and cammo nets and trench systems.
There is a proper British ‘Harbour’ bunker system (bunkers over 2.3 meters deep with firing ports through the sandbags) complete with command bunker; the interlocking arc’s of fire will make this very challenging! Others are fortified natural bases and some are manmade structures.’ Foxholes’ and sniper hides can also be found in strategic locations.
Mike, (Spec Ops)
