Gunman Airsoft January 2014 newsletter

Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:

Dear Arnies Airsoft news, Hi all and welcome to the January 2014 news letter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE;)

To business, what’s new? Well, many of you may have noticed lots of subtle changes going on over the last few months and now we are truly gearing up for 2014.
The first major change is too the Gunman Airsoft name and by March 2014, Gunman Airsoft will be trading at GI Airsoft (Gunman Innovations) and will have a new website in place and FB group (which is already active)  The Gunman Airsoft FB page will get changed to GI Airsoft as well.  The forum will be getting a re-skin and a clear up.
Second on the list is the split between Gunman and FilmSim as both are separate companies and run very different events.  All the Filmsim Elements Ops games will now be known as Combat Missions Advanced.  The same rules will apply, but FilmSim is a brand name which Gunman doesn’t own!  Also we will be running 2 kinds of Combat missions (skirmish) style open days where anything goes and a more tactical version with limited ammo.  Again, this is so we still offer fast paste, action packed, shoot all day games, but you have to be a bit more switch on with the limited ammo ones.  FilmSim Events will still have a section on the Gunman Forum, but it will be made clear they are very different in style of game.
Third on the list is Refs in the field on Combat mission open days.  One thing many of you have requested is more yellow vested refs in the field and less shooting marshals.  As of Jan 2014, this is exactly what you will see.  There will be at least 1 yellow vest in every game but we will aim to field 2-3 depending on numbers.  The in game Marshall role is vital, but we will make sure the balance of Marshals and refs is better (as it used to be).

The Voucher system will be restarting in Jan but will be replaced with a new loyalty card in March  Shoot twice a month for £30!!  That’s as cheap as it gets and you’re still getting £25 worth of awesome sauce!

FilmSim Events, what’s coming up?
January 25-26 Cold War Operations weekend.
GI Eversley
£25 for the day
£40 for the weekend

Want to try out cold war FilmSim, this is the place to do it.  The weekend is filled with Operations set in our Cold War Red Mist campaign and will give you a chance to meet the guys, test out new kit and tactics as well enjoy an 80s retro social on both evenings.

Word from the front
Hi all and a happy new year from me and the team.
There are lots of exciting changes happening this years and possible new venues becoming available to us.  One of our main focuses in 2014 will be on building up the community, improving customer service (not that there is much to do there) and make sure we still stand above the rest in open day gaming!  On the grape vine, we are looking at doing a huge game in August, but more on that to follow.  We now have a new FB group as well as the page for GI Airsoft and will be pushing hard on twitter.

Did you know? A fact about Gunman.
We once had 82 guys staying over at Tudders in the summer of 2007 on a mid month ‘open day’ weekend, it wasn’t a special event.  Tudders used to have a very unique community in that guys would come from all over the UK and Europe to play Skirmish games and camp over for BBQs and beers.  We’re going to be pushing hard for a Summer BBQ again in 2014 as the last few years have seen pooh summers.  That was also the largest open day weekend with over 100 on the Saturday and over 90 on the Sunday….wow;)

Cheers all

Josh…out
