Event News

Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:

Dear Arnies Airsoft news,

What a fantastic turnout we had at Tuddenham at the weekend!  With over 60 players each day and some excellent gameplay this was an awesome event.  Thanks to everyone who attended.

This weekend we’re taking a break, and will return next weekend at Tuddenham for our Division themed FilmSim weekend.

The following weekend we are back at Eversley for a continuation of our “Ghosts” story.

October’s end of month skirmish weekend couldn’t be complete without some kind of freaky Halloween night game action, so we will be putting on a special event on the Friday night.

Obviously, we will also be running our usual skirmish madness on the Saturday and Sunday, along with a social on the Saturday night with movies and a BBQ.

Don’t forget that we will be returning to Top Dog Paintball’s site near Norwich on Sunday 6th November on a monthly basis.

Regards,

Josh Smith

Tuddenham 10th & 11th Sept FilmSim

Using bandages for respawns and limited ammo rules, this is a step up from skirmish without sacrificing the action and fun.  Camping is free from Friday night, we have a BBQ available – just bring your own food and beers.

As we are putting on a Halloween special night game on the end of month weekend (see below) there will be NO night game on the midmonth weekend this month, we will have some cinema action instead on the Saturday night.

Eversley 17th & 18th September FilmSim
We are back at Eversley for a continuation of our “Ghosts” story – the Ghosts must find and destroy a number of weapons caches dotted around the area as well as extracting HVTs where possible.  Camping is free from Friday night, and there is a great social atmosphere on the Saturday evening.

Halloween Night Game – Tuddenham Friday 28th October
October’s end of month skirmish weekend couldn’t be complete without some kind of freaky Halloween night game action, so we will be putting on a special event on the Friday night.

Action will take place over the whole site including the woodland, we highly recommend that you bring a torch with you.  Airsoft guns will be limited to gas, spring and lo-cap mags only to avoid overkill.  Melee weapons and NERF guns are also welcome.

All players will take turns at being freaks or survivors, when a survivor gets ‘got’ by a freak, they become a freak until they manage to grab a survivor, at which point they can return to game as a survivor.  Various objectives will be given such as an unarmed point to point survival run, defending an area and objective retrieval.

The game will start with a safety briefing at 1900 and will last until about 2230 all for the price of £15.  We have a limited supply of weapons available for free rental via a pool on the evening.

Tuddenham 29th & 30th October – Skirmish & Social
Obviously, we will also be running our usual skirmish madness on the Saturday and Sunday, along with a social on the Saturday night with movies and a BBQ.  Camping, as always, is free from Friday night and all are welcome to the Saturday night social including non-players.

Norwich – Sunday 6th November
Don’t forget that we will be returning to Top Dog Paintball’s site near Norwich on Sunday 6th November on a monthly basis.  The site is huge, and has lots of features including a bridge crossing.  For a limited period we are offering a reduced walk-on price of £20 (or £15 with a valid loyalty voucher) so this is a perfect opportunity to come and see what the site has to offer.

Catering is available but food must be pre-ordered to ensure enough is brought on site and prevent wastage – both bread rolls and meat is bought fresh rather than frozen.  Please let us know if you require food.

Dear Arnies Airsoft news,

Another great weekend at our Eversley site in Hampshire with nearly 100 players across the weekend again.  Gunman will return to Eversley next month on 20th & 21st August for another FilmSim style weekend and part two in our Ghosts series of games.

This weekend, Gunman is hosting another awesome Okto Eight Milsim event at our Tuddenham site.  Set in the fictitious country of Moldistan, this ticket only event is part of an ongoing series of events set in the former USSR.  There were a couple of rebel player spaces left at the time of writing – if you’re interested get in touch with Okto Eight Milsim on Facebook.

The following weekend (30th & 31st July) we return to Tuddenham for our epic end of month skirmish and social event.  Camping is free from Friday evening onwards and is highly encouraged, we have BBQ facilities, so bring some food and drinks down and join us on Saturday night even if you’re not camping or playing.

Regards,

Josh Smith

Okto Eight Milsim

This weekend, Gunman is hosting another awesome Okto Eight Milsim event at our Tuddenham site.  Set in the fictitious country of Moldistan, this ticket only event is part of an ongoing series of events set in the former USSR.  There were a couple of rebel player spaces left at the time of writing – if you’re interested get in touch with Okto Eight Milsim on Facebook.

We are planning on having a large civilian population in play for the whole weekend to create maximum immersion for the players – we can always squeeze a couple more people in on the crew if you’re interested.  You would be role-playing a non-combatant character, for example a villager, UN aid worker, journalist, tourist in a former USSR country sandwiched between Russia and Europe embroiled in civil war.  You shouldn’t be shot at, but eye protection will obviously need to be worn during the day when weapons are hot.  In the evening, the role-play continues, the guns go away, and the beers come out!

If you’re interested in joining us as a non-combatant crew member, drop an email to doug@gunmanairsoft.co.uk to find out what’s involved.  We don’t charge for non-combatant role-players, as you won’t be getting any trigger time, but you will have a good time and get to see what Okto Eight Milsims are all about.

Skirmish – Tuddenham 30th & 31st July

The following weekend (30th & 31st July) we return to Tuddenham for our epic end of month skirmish and social event.  Camping is free from Friday evening onwards and is highly encouraged, we have BBQ facilities, so bring some food and drinks down and join us on Saturday night even if you’re not camping or playing.

We will of course be playing some airsoft on Saturday and Sunday on our awesome CQB & scrub/woodland areas – games will be dynamic and will last between 30 and 45 minutes each to give you plenty of time to hydrate and reload in between.

Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:

Dear Arnies Airsoft news,

Thanks to all for the huge turnout for the Tuddenham game at the weekend, well over 100 players across both days.  Both the biker gangs and the police put up an excellent battle, with both sides scoring several victories throughout the weekend.

We’re back at our flagship site again in three week’s time for the end of month skirmish social.  We highly encourage people to camp over with us and enjoy the great social atmosphere on Saturday night with a BBQ, camp fire and excellent company.  We are also planning to play some airsoft on Saturday and Sunday as well!

This weekend, we return to our superb Eversley site in Hampshire with part one of our “Ghosts” series.  Using the FilmSim ruleset, teams of Ghost operators will infiltrate rebel camps to secure and extract an HVT from each.  With limited ammo, bandage based respawns and role-play encouraged, this is a great way to experience the fun bits of milsim without sacrificing your lunch break or your trigger time.

As always, camping is free from Friday evening and there will be a social on Saturday night.  If you haven’t given our Eversley site a try yet, this is a great opportunity to sample the mix of pine forest, rhododendron jungle, varied terrain and plenty of player built features as well as the great community and friendly atmosphere we offer.

Regards,

Josh Smith (Gunman Airsoft)

Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:

Dear Arnies Airsoft news,

Massive thanks to all who supported our gas, spring & low-cap specialist day on Sunday.  The weather was perfect and a great time was had by all once again.  We will organise another one soon.

This weekend, we are at Tuddenham for our mid-month FilmSIM style weekend as usual.  This time we are running a “Biker Gangs of New York” theme – bikers vs cops/SWAT.  Fancy dress is optional, but the more people who get into the role, the more fun it is!

There will also be a game on Saturday evening which is included in the price of a weekend ticket, otherwise it costs £10 on top of a day ticket, or £15 on its own.

Next weekend we are back at our Eversley site in Hampshire with a FilmSIM style event “Ghosts Part 1 – Georgia” where a team of ghost operators will be trying to capture and evac various HVTs from within Ultra-Nationalist rebel camps.  Camping is free all weekend, with a very social atmosphere in the evenings and a BBQ etc, come and join us.

Regards,

Josh Smith (Gunman Airsoft)

Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:

Dear Arnies Airsoft news,

We had another awesome weekend at Tuddenham, with over 100 people attending across both days.  Saturday evening’s social was great, despite the rain, we even managed to get some strimming done as well!

If you like our Filmsim style weekends and want to take them to the next level, visit our forums at www.gunmanforum.com and have a look at what our sister company FilmSim has to offer.  Everything from WWI (coming next year), to WWII, to Vietnam, to the Cold War, to modern day, right through to future combat is covered, so get involved.

We also have a couple of rebel player spaces left on the Okto Eight Milsim “Operation Serpent’s Nest” at Tuddenham on July 23rd & 24th  – get in touch with Okto Eight Milsim on Facebook if you’re interested.  We are also looking to expand the non-combatant population for this operation, if you’re not bothered about shooting and fancy giving a bit of role-playing a go then get in touch to see what’s involved.  We don’t charge for non-combatants to attend and you’ll find the role very satisfying and lots of fun.

Regards,

Josh Smith

Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:

Dear Arnies Airsoft news,

This weekend we return to Tuddenham for our mid-month FilmSim style event.

There is also a night game on Saturday, starting at 1900 and running until about 2230, the operations are short and sharp with plenty of action, as well as the odd slower paced sneaky game.  It will be dark by the time we finish, so a torch is recommended equipment (even if it’s just to move around between games).

The night game is now included for no extra charge in a weekend ticket, otherwise it’s £10 to add on to a day ticket, or £15 as a stand-alone ticket.  350fps limit for all weapons.  We have some rental shotguns available for £10 – these MUST be booked in advance.

The following weekend, the 2037 battle will continue at our Eversley site.  With rolling hills and a fern/rhododendron jungle within a pine forest, the fighting will be a challenge.

More improvements have been made at Tuddenham.

We have a MilSim event coming up next monh and we need crew:  see below…

Regards,

Josh Smith

Conflict 2037 Part 3: Bolt

Its 2037 and the world is at war. The Armies of the Red Drake and the Blue Hammer have clashed in middle Europe and battles have broken out across their broken and jagged lines. Many nations have been engulfed in the flames of war and now only two these two factions are left to fight it out.

Following on from the successful and dominant victory of the Red Drake in area 921 and 922, the Red Drake are pushing across the line and now engaging in the surrounding area.

Area 923 – 924 The Ardennes forest of old France and old Belgium.

The Blue Hammers task force ‘Alpha Prime’ has had a firm defeat and new units have been brought up to support the heavily contested areas. Due to the battle area still being watched by both sides affective SAM Systems and the dense constitution of the forest, the ground war will have to continue. 5 key areas have been identified in both 923 and 924, which must be taken and controlled if one side is to gain victory and control of the area.

Day one will see the fighting for 923 and day two the battle for 924.

In true conflict style (Battlefield) 5 areas will be marked at the 5 key areas that need to be captured and held. There will be a red and a blue flag at each position. All that a team needs to do to show control of an area is put their team flag into the ground next to the objective and place the enemy flag on the ground.

Improvements at Tuddenham

We have been hard at work, making further improvements to our Tuddenham site, with more partitions being fitted inside a few of the buildings as well as cover being erected on the slab in the middle of the CQB village.

We are continuing to make the safe zone a nicer place to be with more lighting and a coat of paint inside, as well as repairs to the leaky section of the roof all planned for the next few weeks.

Crew Call: Okto 8 MilSim at Tuddenham

We have an Okto Eight Milsim event on next month at our Tuddenham site (near Bury St Edmunds) which is set in the fictional country of Moldistan. To improve the realism and sense of immersion for players we are looking to scale up our usual level of civilians and non-combatants.

This is where you come in. If you would like a weekend of role-playing either a local civilian (in an eastern European or Russian style) or a UN aid worker then we would love to hear from you.

You will not be armed and will hopefully not be shot at (too much) as the players will have strict rules of engagement. We will feed you and can provide suitable costume if needed. There is camping space on site, let us know if you need bedding etc.

If you’re curious about either airsoft or MilSim type games, or you just like playing dress up and let’s pretend, get in touch. Event details below – we also have a separate group for crew members.

If you want to play a rebel, we still have some tickets available.  For more information or to book on, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/544968945677839/

Here is all the latest news from Gunman Airsoft:

Conflict 2037 – Titan

The Eversley story follows the operations of small units on the ground and focuses on their missions and the Area of Operations (AO) they must fight in.

Area 921 – 922 The Ardennes forest of old France and old Belgium.

Elements of the massive Blue Hammers task force ‘Alpha Prime’ have engage a huge host of Red Drakes crossing into area 921 and 922. The battle for the area has begun and due to both sides having affective SAM Systems and the dense constitution of the forest, both sides have elected to wage war with ground troops only. 5 key areas have been identified in both 921 and 922, which must be taken and controlled if one side is to gain victory and control of the area.

One thing that is very important, due to a number of damaged underground gas pipes that run through 921 and 922 (which both sides want to control), no explosives are to be used. Only smokes, Red Incendiary and Green gas grenades can be used.

Day one will see the fighting for 921 and day two the battle for 922.
In true conflict style (Battlefield) 5 areas will be marked at the 5 key areas that need to be captured and held. There will be a red and a blue flag at each position. All that a team needs to do to show control of an area is put their team flag into the ground next to the objective and place the enemy flag on the ground.
