Stormin Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi everyone! I'm a new-ish airsofter that only discovered the sport in January 2014. One word: Hooked! I found this site when looking for some gear to buy, and even though the "100 posts" rule stopped me dead in my tracks, I totally agree with it. Luckily I was also looking for an airsoft forum that was on tapatalk to become a part of, too I have been browsing the Zero One forums for quite a while but I'm really uncomfortable with their disallowing of non-Zero One product links. I feel that it hinders information sharing within the community, but that's just me *shrugs* Anyway I'm looking forward to making new friends and getting involved! See you around!

Hardcore1-6 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 This forum is clearly the better of everything.The lack of sales threads won't affect you - the people are nice enough!Have a browse of the different sub forums and look at everything - you never know what you might find! Welcome to the money sponge. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I feel that it hinders information sharing within the community, but that's just me *shrugs* Don't worry, every UK 'softer with 2 brain cells to rub together agrees with you there. Link to post Share on other sites
Deadmeat Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hey hello there! Which site(s) did you go to then? Not that you asked but we're off to Bentwaters near Woodbridge tomorrow for a special one off game with Contego Tactical. Otherwise the other local sites in your area I've been to would be Ravens in Ipswich, Gunman in Tuddenham (near Bury St Edmunds) or try Billericay Skirmish. See you around!

emergencychimp Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's an addictive hobby! I work near Colchester, there are quite a few sites locally as deadmeat says, but would definitely encourage Gunman Tuddenham. There also appears to be night games in Witham with BadgerTac and Airsoft plantations, AWA Herts aren't that far from you either. If you're up for a bit of a road trip UCAP the Sandpit is well worth the day out as it's just the other side of the bridge, so from Colchester isn't too bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I would like to visit Ravens and Gunman. Been to Billericay and AWA Herts, and had my eye on going to UCAP Sandpit ever since it featured in Airsoft International (looks awesome). I try to airsoft once a month and always on the lookout for interesting sites I've never been to. Some of my favorite games were at Urban Assault (massive abandoned RAF airbase) and Danger Close (urban, with dead zone on top of a shipping container so you can watch the game play out. Also next to a skydiving club so you get a propeller plane flying low overhead every 10 mins - awesome!) I haven't found a 'regular' site yet as that needs to be kinda close... But hopefully the Colchester crew will get something together again after Bunker 39 got kicked off their land Link to post Share on other sites
Griff762 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 When I worked near Ipswich gunman Tuddenham was my local. Now I'm trying to find a site with similar standards in North London but nothing as good as gunman yet! Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Where have you tried so far? I've not found anything much at all within the m25 (not too surprising), but there's a few decent ones with an hour or so drive. Link to post Share on other sites
Dacascos Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I want to hit the Mall in Reading, its a drive BUT it look amazing! Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 UCAP's Sandpit site, is amazing, Good marshalling, huge site, vehicles (they just got a Saracen APC to go with the WMIK and the 2 Snatch Landrovers) Really good medic rule that really keeps play flowing well! Its not my local, but its the best site I've ever played, sadly I can only make the 200 mile round trip every few months! AWA Herts is the first site I ever played at and is good for a laugh, especially when Curly gets the Mortar out. The Mall used to be good but got a bit samey and always seemed to choke up at the same points. (Watch out for the 45 minute safety brief too, yawn) Urban Assault, I used to play there years ago, but I was put off after a few bad game days (cheats) so started playing the smaller night time pistol/shotgun games, which were superb with a small group of 20 or so, but when it got to 50 plus players every night, it started getting bad, blind firing and screaming abuse. A friend of mine had someone reach around a door and shoot him in the face from about an inch away. Not nice. Welcome to the sport, kiss goodbye to your wallet! Jim Link to post Share on other sites
Dacascos Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Welcome dude, not far between us will probably see you around if you play often! Link to post Share on other sites
