    Thanks paddy,

    Work under way this week, car park extended, safe zone and crono area built, more permanent direction signs ordered.

    What type of defensive positions would you like to see for the area coming from the woods to the open area (same style as bray or something different?)

    Remember it's a site for you the players let us know what you want us to do with it to make it better for you all options considered:rolleyes:

    have to say the site was brill with a lot of scope to do as you would loike to make a great site with long range games or short base camp defense games.
    some absolutly brill natural features river is a great advantage for flanking not too deep even for me as i found out:rolleyes:, its also very clear to see where yer going.
    some nice wooded areas which bottleneck into an ideal ambush zone.
    which unfortunatly for attackers/patrol is difficult to divert from under fire.

    would need a few more marshals to keep the games rolling as we found out on the reverse game. but i know the lads have that in hand.
    would suggest more cover for attackers at both base camps .
    all in all i had a brill day even with a poor turnout from my team.

    the facilities where spot hot and cold drinks on hand hot food and snacks
    which was much appreciated, toilet and wash
    facilities were good.

    indoor benches and a good loadout area was a good idea. although would suggest making a definitive area for safe zone and chronoing.

    was a pleasure to play with TNT and against some very honest players
    that dont take themselves too seriously and know how to enjoy a game of airsoft.

    was a bit difficult to find but worth it.
    cheers
    paddy

    I said it all to the lads on Sunday nice site , Paths will come with use i wouldn't be cutting too much away, love the river really good part of the site nice cover in most of the areas there are a few choke points but they are easy to get around if you make your own path or use the river .

    Add a few more Marshall's ( with radios & high vis vests ) and get the games running a bit more fluid there was allot of standing around at the safezone on sunday but it was the first day so i can understand this. Have a bit more bunkers + sandbag in the areas near the castle for defense , also maybe add a sandbag bunker along one of the paths to add some extra hardship for the attacking side

    A Plane wreckage would be pretty cool and also lead to a few good games but hard to come by i reckon .

    But all in all nice work lads .

    Good work Frank & Co, the site is looking class, plenty of hiding spots for Princess Butter Cup!

    I'm only sick I missed it, but I'm back as of next week (Got a job again!),

    I'm just wondering when the next attack is expected of the Carlow site?

    Cheers

    I think the price is great...look....airsoft is relatively cheap to play for a day...it's just the equipment that we keep buying that bumps up the price ;)

    Anyhow here's my next vid...I like this one
