MILISIM EVENT@G-TAC "The seige at Khe Sanh"

G-TAC

G-TAC Mil-Sim on the 24th. of May.Details as follows

In January 1968 an epic battle took place between US forces and the NVA. The effort to retain ownership of the US battle base at Khe Sanh was codenamed "Operation Scotland".

The defense of the American combat base at Khe Sanh, was one of the most remote out posts of Vietnam.

U.S. Intelligence Forces were aware that North Vietnamese Army Forces were massing around Khe Sanh, preparing for a full scale siege.

There are 2 key objectives that day. They were to hold Bridge 881 south and Bridge 861 just north of the base.
The N.V.A. Gunners targeted their attack with incredible accuracy scoring a direct hit on their bases Main Ammunition store.
90% of their bases stock of Artillery and mortar rounds were lost.
As the Tet offensive swept over south Vietnam, Khe Sanh went uncannily quite,

OBJECTIVE 2

The Battle for the Combat Base had settled into a straight fight between American and North Vietnamese gunners. Troops manning the base were running out of ammunition food, supplies, and reinforcements. One of the major problems were to get casualties to safe EVAC point.

OBJECTIVE 3
SUPER GAGGLE
This was an innovation by the Americans to get supplies in to the base at Khe Sanh.
they started using high speed assaults the entire assaults took incredible timing and would last only 25 minutes at a time .

Calendar updated, thank you.

G-TAC

What you need. All players must bring a black shirt or tshirt. The black shirt will be used to distinguish NVA from US forces.

If this is your first time at G-TAC, please famiarise yourself with the G-TAC rules and regulations, print out a waiver and have filled out prior to registration to speed up the process. Also it would be advisable to print out a map of the area and bring it with you.

Clothing. As close as possible to the era but we know not everyone will have era clothing so any uniform will do.

Equipment. Again, period style AEG/bolt action/pistol would be prefered but anything will do. But there will be no AEG allowed with integrated scope like the AUG A1. There will be no mounted scopes, lazers or PEQ box's on AEG's. Only designated snipers will be allowed to have a scoped rifle which must be bolt action. No high cap mags. Low and mid cap only. Up to 3 M249's will be allowed per side. Sidearms, any will be allowed but no machine pistols. IE M93R, Glock 23F etc.

More details will follow. Ask any questions you like and we will answer them as best we can.

no it would not be allowed but if you take of scope you can play as a regular.

great stuff guys, i am defo gonna try make this one. lets hope we get a good turn out. the scenario sounds like a good one.

Sorry, i dont mean to put a spanner on the works but im just wondering what would be the feeling on M14 rifles with scopes? these would be accurate to the era but dont fit with the rules of equipment.
the idea of scopes for snipers only is a good one though. maybe the 14s could be limited with less ammo, although i don't know if mids are easily available for them.
regarding the VC and NVA, these would have worn a sort of tan-ish BDU for the NVA and black PJs for the VC. would it be be easier to allow people to wear tan or black stuff for NVA/VC and have american and ARVN have to wear OD/Green only?

Ammo limits would be a good idea too, maybe 600rds per person, so on average 6 mids or 2 hicaps for those who don't have them.
everyones ammo could be pooled and locked in a bag which the side would have to lug with them, then after an engagement if they are low they have to seek the permission of the marshals who would have the code of the bag. it would be up to the marshals to grant it dependent on the situation. this would take away the problems of people heading back to the safe zone to reload all the time and those who do need the ammo could be required to take a penalty of falling back to a further point instead of heading straight back into the engagement.

Maybe the NVA and VC could have the greater numbers but this would be leveled out by them having a further away respawn point and a bleedout time before they can head for the respawn. the americans could have a medic on hand and healed soldiers maybe have to wait 5 mins after being patched up before becoming active again.

also, how about when chrono'ing the guns, 3 elastic bnds are put on the barrel, these would be your lives and when you get shot the marshal would remove one at the respawn. this would possibly be a good way to add up te kill rate at the end of the day too.


I'lll go load me mags....

Hi Richie,
They are all great idea's. If you would not mind we would love to use them.

As the 14 is a period piece, I would have to say yes. Looking over details of it though and they seem mostly to have been used without scope. Saying that there was also a semi auto only version produced the M14M which was a civilian piece of kit. I would be in the thinking however that the average soldier on the ground would not have had a scope but if there is any more intel on this I would appreciate this. So for the moment the 14 would be accepted but without a scope but this could change.

The OD/green is a great idea but I do not want to exclude those that do not have access to these uniforms so I think just from a point of view of having a good ammount of people to play we will still prefer OD/Green but will accept any BDU. The NVA/VC clothing would be great in black or tan. Again I was just saying for everyone to bring a black shirt to make it easy for people but if anyone has any period costume from the era it would be great.

We will definetly take onboard the idea for the elastic bands. We were thinking of doing resupply runs but your idea of the locked bag's is great.

Keep the idea's coming guys.

No probs, when i said OD/green though, what i meant was green based camo so it can be anything from plain OD, brit dpm to american woodland etc etc. the tans being plain tan, brit desert, multicam, etc etc, and the VC would be an easy one.:)

another possibility would be doing a buddy system, if numbers permit it would be good to pair everyone up with another player that they have to stay close to at all times. if one gets shot the other protects him until the medic arrives and the protector can avail of the downed mans ammo in the process.
I think this would help the side move with more coordination and communication as well as make for a nice twist if one guy is downed out somewhere in the open and the other becomes a POW. POWs could be traded for ground, ammo or exchanged for their own captives.

mouse traps on fishing line would make pretty good traps for the VC to leave around in the "jungle" to lure the Americans into. lol, should add that little bit more suspense, the thought of being killed by something invisible.

thanks to Martin & Evelyn for a great day yesterday. The last game of the day was something different and was great fun! , the weather made things even better.

mechwarrior

as if we weren't being completely massacred by the US you had to break your rifle now didn't you horse ?

... was a great day - yes it was and the last game was probably one of the most fun/interesting airsoft games i've played - i can tell that a lot of people there really know their stuff... i mean really really know their stuff...

G-TAC

We would like to thank all that came to our first Mil-Sim event and made it such a success especialy the team,s that came. The last game was pure mental and the best fun I have seen at G-TAC in some time. The best has got to have been Podge taking a leap and roll into the tyre fort to capture the remaing flag. It was epic. But hey Podge, you forgot to fix the fort befor you left:D

The weather, what can I say. The G-TAC Anti Rain Dance (G-ARD) worked once again. Not a drop of rain dropped all day and man was it warm.

Once again, a big thanks.
Martin, Evelyn, Sean, Garoid and Jenny.

TheDoc

Sorry for the bail, lift fell through.

Hope to get the nam kit dirty again there soon
