Ambush Adventures are reopening their Southampton site:
Site Info
Ambush Southampton is located In over 50 acres of the New Forest, un unrivalled experience set in some fantastic terrain. With an unlimited range of scenarios for the seven game areas, with a mix of unique and traditional games to be played. One of the great things about the site is it suits all paying styles, if you are a sniper there are some areas with great cover, this site will suit the needs of your playing style.
Ambush Adventures Southampton is a pure woodland site of over 50 acres, making up seven select game areas that have been designed within the varied terrain, each with its own individual objectives.
Located in the New Forest on the Southampton an Salisbury border, there is more than enough natural cover for this site to become sniper heaven, However close combat is not a term that has been forgotten, many a time you come face to face with friend and foe, whether you are using the natural cover or man-made barricades. Simply put it is one of those sites that can cater for all sorts of needs and disciplines; sniping, close quarter battle, ambush, defence and attack. If you want something new and exciting then this is the place for you. The game play is limitless.
The veteran Ambush players and marshals were so impressed with the man made accessories that have been built into the wilderness of the new forest, admiring the WW1 style trench system, a large fort and tower and a pirate ship, as well as the more common village and barricade zones which both include bridges and forest in the areas. For those who play Ambush sites frequently it genuinely is a mix of all the good stuff from Chobham (with about 20% less of the water and mud!) and Lasham with about 40% more buildings and Forts.
Not forgetting the natural areas, the jungle where I would suggest those interested in Knife kills would be in 7th heaven – It is so thick you can be feet away from your enemy and not see them! The island (here is a two stage attack and defend, basically you end up attacking an Island! the rabbit field is a snipers paradise and a range for some target practice and / or site zeroing. This might all sound like it’s not very exciting, but it really is a must see and play!
Five foot ferns and even bigger bushes along with a thick covering of trees provide excellent woodland terrain and a variety of tactical options of play. So even if it’s your first site to play at, the terrain is thick enough to help you, old timer or young gun it is very forgiving. Smoke grenades make for an impressive scene in any of the areas, not that there is a need for anything extra to conceal you position. It all depends on how ‘up close and personal’ or brave you are feeling.
Play
Although the more traditional capture the flag and bomb the village games are easily adapted to be played in any of the 7 areas, none of these have been used so far. The marshal’s have thought long and hard, using up all their spare time to come up with new game scenarios unique to each individual area. However this does not mean that the much loved traditional games will never be played at the Southampton site.
Facilities
Although this is a brand new site to the world of airsoft, the site has an amazing range of facilities there already. The site has a large covered safe area with a number of benches, quality onsite catering, it is fully plumbed with all the essentials and a shop for those with a sweet tooth or in need of restocking supplies.Summary
Although this is a new site for Ambush Adventures, many of the veterans have decided this is their favourite site with amazing potential. Not only the players have this view, the marshal’s are enjoying the freedom and challenge on the new unlimited range of scenarios to be planned and played out. There is no doubt that once the reputation of the site starts to grow in the airsoft world and the guys at Ambush have had a chance to do a few build days to sort out the areas which currently have no ‘man made’ influence, this site will become an amazing place to play for airsofter’s from all walks of life.For more information contact the guys of Ambush Adventures on the following.
