Its a piece of pi$$. You just have to use common sense. Declare your gear.

"Imitation firearms with no ammo in a lockable case". That is literally what got us through the ferry ports each time. Most times you get priority boarding as well. There is more information on the thread posted above.

I am sure if you ask nicely, that the IAA could give you a letter that could help smooth the way. You could also request a letter of invitation from the site you are travelling to.

We are all traveling together on a 53 seater coach hired by the club. This coach will bring us to the site, wait and bring us back to the ferry and home. We are getting this for €1000. It makes much more sense than everyone traveling separately and allows us to avail of a good group discount.

The nature of doing it this way means that the pricing can fluctuate slightly between then and now because of numbers going and exchange rates, etc.

We could have just slapped a €150 a head price on it but EVERYONE PAYS WHAT IT COSTS AND NOT A PENNY MORE.

The Ferry is €32 a head. This covers the ferry, coach an driver. If you want a comfy cabin it'll cost you extra but in the interest of realism, there shouldn't be much comfort on troop transports . This price is based on a minimum of 20.

The Site cost is also based on the amount of us going. 30 lads = £55/€61, 40 lads = £45/€50, 50 lads = £35/€39.

Examples of cost based on the amounts going follow...

30-39 People:
Ferry €32 Coach €33 Site €62 - TOTAL: €127

From Dublin to Wexford (bus)

Bus Eireann buses leaving at 3.30pm and 4.30pm from Bus Aras arrive in Rosslare Harbour at approx. 6.50pm and 7.50pm respectively. The earlier bus is probably the safest on a Friday.Return buses on the Sunday morning leave on the hour. Ref: http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1248962964-2.pdf

Reading, UK


FRI 6/11/09 – 16.39pm


Mr. Goose and his team enter the Barclay’s Bank branch at 130/131 Friar Street. They successfully lock down the bank and gain access to the vault. Several of the team fill black hold-alls with cash and jewelry. They leave the bank at 4.48pm and are met by the first of the Police on scene. The getaway car is disabled in the ensuing firefight and the robbers fall back into an adjacent abandoned shopping centre.


SAT 7/11/09 – 02.30am


Mr. Goose and his team have been holed up in the abandoned ‘Friars St.’ shopping mall all night. Police reconnaissance has determined that the team of bank robbers has extensive military training and that they have ‘dug in’.


SAT 7/11/09 – 8.15am


Det. Mackey and his ‘Strike Team’ arrive on scene. The FBI is also in attendance in an ‘advisory capacity’. Mackey’s tactical analysis…”If we don’t go in hard and fast now, we’re going to have to level the building to get ‘em out”


SAT 7/11/09 – 9.30am


The ‘Strike Team’ is given a green light and ‘deadly force’ is authorized…


GAME ON…

C'mon lads, that's some value to play on an amazing CQB site over in the UK for about the same amount of money you'd drop on a night out.

PS: 16 more people and the price goes down by approx €36 a head to around €91 each.

No bothers buddy, maybe for the next trip

Just to confirm some of the site rules...

1. Site FPS Limits
   328fps (+5% variance) on ALL RIF's. (With 0.2g BBs) Chronograph will be in operation at the start and during the day. For normal days, unless advertised otherwise, there are no ammo/mag capacity limits. Some areas of the game area will be single shot only, therefore RIF's that are incapable of firing on single shot will not be allowed in those areas.
   
2. Pyrotechnics Rules
   Only pyrotechnics sold by First & Only or made by TLSFx will be allowed on site. BFG's are allowed but only with 9mm blanks, 6mm short Blanks or caps. Only non-toxic or non-military smokes can be used on site with a max burn of 6o sec and have no effect other than screening. A grenade or thunderflash going off in a room means instant kill to all occupants unless behind hard cover (concrete wall, barrier etc). In larger and open areas, a grenade will instant kill every player within 15ft radius unless behind hard cover (concrete wall, barrier etc).
   

On-Site Facilities

Working power sockets, lighting, Men & Women's toilets, kitchen, shop, onsite battery charging, changing areas and dedicated customer car parking. The on-site shop will sell BB's, Pyrotechnics, gas and a range of other Airsoft equipment.

Few of the hawks are up for this, just a few questions.

Is it a milsim story based game?

Is it ammo limits?

Is it full auto as you please or restrictions on full auto?

Is it only irish people going over playing or will there be plenty of locals on site?

Is it midcap required or hicaps and boxmag central?

I think those questions are what most of us have in our mind, but personally i wouldnt be interested if it wasnt milsim based, because cqb and indoor with unlimited ammo and full auto is usually ****e.

Get back soon, want to know if this ais a runner for me so i can get paid up.

chakav

Is it a milsim story based game?

It will be more of a filmsim game. Think 'Heat'. 1/2 of the players are going as bank robbers (Suits, Shirts & Ties) and the other half of the players will be FBI (Woodland/Green Load-outs) or Police/SWAT (Jeans, Shirt, Bullet-proof vests). FBI and Police will be allocated relevant badges and (non-fluffy) handcuffs. Each team will be given a set of objectives for the day to be completed chronologically to win the day. Other surprises with regards to props and 'characters', i'd like to keep under my hat. Me, Michal (Quality Airsoft Supplies) and the site operator are coming up with more ideas every day.

Is it ammo limits?

The scenario will drive the ammo limits situation at any one time in the game. IE: The Bank Robbers could only bring with them what they could carry into the bank and subsequently into the Mall, The advance police forces are only equipped with pistols and shotguns (or AEGs SemiAuto Only). SWAT show up with Automatics, Bank robbers overrun SWAT team and take the ammo, etc. etc. If you need me to be more clear on this aspect, please PM me for more specifics. As Airsoft is a honour based game, a certain amount of trust will be placed in the players to abide by ammo limits.

Is it full auto as you please or restrictions on full auto?

"Some areas of the game area will be single shot only, therefore RIF's that are incapable of firing on single shot will not be allowed in those areas." According to the site operator, the entire lower level is semi-auto only because it is very tight corridors and is predominantly dark. With regard to other areas, hopefully the ammo restrictions of one's team will curb enthusiasm to empty mags willy nilly.

Is it midcap required or hicaps and boxmag central?

Whilst we dont want to alienate people who don't own midcaps we will be actively disriminating against the boxmag fraternitiy. With regard to Loadouts, our rule of thumb would probably be 10 midcaps / 3 HiCaps for the first part of the day and the same in the afternoon. But as I said above, the scenario will drive the loadouts with the cooperation of the players.

Is it only irish people going over playing or will there be plenty of locals on site?

The Mall usually opens on a Sunday. We are going over on a Saturday because nearly everyone doesnt want to arrive home monday at 6.30am and go to work.The site is putting on a special day for us, so there will be no locals playing. As somebody pointed out to me, this is good for 3 reasons, we get to run our own scenario, we dont get owned by a crack team who play there every week and the stairs / elevators / doors dont get clogged up with loads and loads aof players.

If you have any other ideas on how I can tighten this up, please tell me. We are just learning here and we really want to have a great day. All input greatly appreciated mate.

Your preference of team is really up to yourself buddy, don't go putting any expense on yourself. If you have an old suit lying around, come as a bank robber. If you want to be in law enforcement the options are...

Woodland/Green Loadout - FBI
Black tactical loadout - SWAT
Jeans & Shirt/T-Shirt - POLICE
Tatty White Vest and No Shoes - John McLaine

All nutters welcome
