Stirling Airsoft have sent us details of their 2010 events calendar:

Hi Guys,

Stirling Airsoft are pleased to announce details of our calendar for 2010 and there’s some good news for fans of our games at Copehill Down Village. 

We’ll be running two (count ‘em) games at the Army’s FIBUA Training Village on Salisbury Plain next year, the first, Operation: Kingsman, on April 3rd and 4th and a second game, Operation: Tempest, on August 14th and 15th.

In addition to the two games at Copehill Down we’ll also have all our usual Airsoft Training Days at Stoneleigh along with plenty of airsoft games at Catterick and Combat Missions at Great Blackhill in Herefordshire.

You might also want to make special note of the Operation: Barracuda combat mission on September 25th and 26th, which will be taking place in Worcester and will feature three helicopters transporting players into the combat zone during the mission.

We will also be holding more airsoft games in Spain in 2010 but at the moment we don’t have any confirmed dates for when those games will be happening so we haven’t been able to put anything up on the calendar just yet.  Rest assured that as soon as we do have definite dates for next year’s games in Spain we will update the calendar and post announcements about it on the Stirling Airsoft Blog as well as on our Twitter and Facebook profiles.

Of course, 2009 isn’t over yet and we’ve still got Op: Instant Justice, this year’s England vs Scotland game, to come at Catterick on the 5th and 6th of December.  After England’s victory in last year’s game the Scottish team has everything to prove this time out.

As always you can find details of how to book your place at any of Stirling Airsoft’s events at the Stirling website or you can email matt@stirlingairsoft.com with your enquiries.

Thanks, Ken (Stirling Airsoft)

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)
