February news from Gunman Airsoft

Here is Guman Airsoft’s February newsletter:

February 2013 Welcome to Gunman Airsoft News

Dear Arnies Airsoft news, Hello and welcome to the 2013 GMA newsletter.

Hi all, January was a long month indeed.  Early paydays in December and a long wait till payday in Jan, but we still had good numbers across the sites so a big thumbs up.  Nothing new to announce in the general section, so see you all in the field.

GUNMAN MEMBERSHIP
Standard membership will cost £10 a year.  Payment can be made via PayPal (sales@gunmanairsoft.co.uk and quote your number and/or your name) or cash on the day.  UKARA memberships will not get renewed unless this is paid.  We have supported the UKARA since its start but it’s becoming more time consuming hence the £10 a year fee.

This year will see the new GUNMAN Gold Membership starting 1st Jan.
Cost £50 a month – paid via S/O from your bank on the 1st of every month.
What do I get?
• Shoot all you can at any GUNMAN Airsoft open day weekends.
• Up to £20 off any GUNMAN event or FILMSIM main event ran at a Gunman site.
• Free GUNMAN Membership which you need for UKARA membership (membership will cost £10 a year as of next year, this includes renewals)
• Discount on pre-ordered BBs and Pyro.
• A GUNMAN Gold Card (you will need to supply a passport size photo) which will validate you as an air softer.

You MUST sign up for a minimum of 6 months a time and make a guaranteed payment for those 6 months, after that you can choose to opt out and go back to pay as you go.  Your Membership will still be valid until renewal!

RETAIL – Target Action Supplies
Another huge restock before the end of 2012 has seen the shop swell back to its original glory.  See here for more infohttp://gunmanforum.com/index.php?showforum=210
We also offer a repair and up/down grade service.

What’s coming up?

EVENTS for March
D-Day Italian Campaign – The last bullet
55 pre book, with a 25 deposit to be paid. 65 on the gate.
PayPal sales@filmsim.co.uk for deposits.
Tuddenham Aerodrome
Suffolk

It’s 16th October 1944 and the Allied Armies are short of artillery and ammunition across the front and time is running out. If a result isn’t achieved soon, the allied war effort in Italy will peter out and a hard winter will follow. Kesselring has placed some of his best divisions, the 29th and 90th Panzer grenadier and 1st Parachute Divisions in the way of the US 5th Army. Our story takes us to a short fix supply LZ which has been hastily set up by a regiment of the British XIII core only a few miles for the front. Desperately needed supplies should be on imminent and units of the US 5th Army are getting a quick respite. The supplies will help the British 8th Army hold and continue their progress along route 9 so this supply LZ has been given a priority.

Unknown to the Allied Command, 2 small but well armed German units from the 90th Panzer grenadier and 1st Parachute Divisions have found a route through the lines through the mountains passes and have located the LZ and plan to cut short even further the Allied Supplies.

This battle is fictitious but could very easily happened, especially with the continued issues both side had with the lines changing and moving unequally and the terrain being so difficult to move around.

This game has been opened to both sides but will be capped at 60 to ensure a great experience.

The standard game rules for D-Day battle with be used, but for the first time we shall use a real steel ammo limit.

Site News and game days.

All the sites will be getting an early build day scheduled in 2013 so keep an eye out of a news letter update.

Operations weekends
Hi guys, we have a new style of game that has been tried and tested at Eversley for the past 6 months.  Operations weekends will feature long running stories that are played over the weekend and lead on to the following month and you can do one day or the weekend.  The missions can take anything for 30 mins to 2hrs to play out and due to the organic nature of this style of game, may well change its course and outcome, these games are not fixed or rigid, but flow naturally which is what makes them work so well.
All the usual Filmsim elements rules apply with the addition of Desert or Tan clothing being worn.  We would rather guys make an effort to look like the side they are playing but it’s not essential.  We have a huge pile of desert and green MARPAT for free rental if you have nothing.  The sides will fill up via the booking threads on the forums and we ask everyone to be a bit flexible with which side they play on, but we will always try to keep groups or mates together.

Tuddenham news
A bit more build and tidy work done, but we have a major build day coming up soon so keep your eyes posted on the GMA forum.

Norwich news
Nothing to report but planning is still pending via an Appeal.  No matter what we will continue to run our 1st of the month games there.  So don’t fret Norwich, Gunman still loves you.

Eversley news
Car park and entrance is being redone and we have more stuff built in the village and out in the field.  This site will take forever to finish but is already perfect as she is.
