‘The Mall’ Trip, UK – Sat Nov 5th 2011

pyro jim · 15-08-2011 5:02pm #1

Hi all!

Anyone fancy trip to The Mall airsoft site in Reading??!!!

"'The Mall' is a truly unique CQB Airsoft site. Based in the Friars Walk shopping centre in the heart of Reading town Berkshire, First & Only Airsoft offers an unparalleled Airsoft gaming experience. The site is a self contained L shaped mall spread across 3 levels with over250,000sq ft of shop space, walkways, stair cases, lower ground storage rooms, service corridors and loading bays. Whether you like your action up close and personal or over bigger areas with lots of sneaky play, 'The Mall' has everything."

Places are strictly limited to 50 altogether.

Cost will be €120
That includes the Bus, Ferry and Site Entrance/Play/lunch on site
After that the cost is up to you.
If you want to eat/drink that will cost extra
If you want to buy PYRO, that will cost extra.
You'd probably want €20-30 and £30-50 with you.

Travel will be out Friday evening and arrive back early Sunday morning. No overnight accommodation needed as we'll be traveling throughout. Sleep on the bus/boat.

The Mall will be PRIVATELY booked for ourselves for our own scenario

There will be a MILSIM scenario for the day (Midcaps only, etc.)

There will be Special Prices for PYRO
(Lee from First and Only will be coming up with special pre-order prices for pyro in the next week or so.)

The 1st 50 people to pay deposit of €60 are guaranteed a place. Deposits can be paid to...
James / Brian @ The Manor Whiskey Delta

Still working on a scenario, when we have it fully planned out we'll give away a few hints on it

Damo 2k9 · 15-08-2011 8:46pm

Will the bus only be picking up people in waterford or is there multiple pick up points? And whats the story with under 18's attending?

Anybody between 16 and 18 will be required to get a consent form/waiver signed before we leave.

Bus will hopefully start in Dublin, go to Waterford then on to Rosslare.
Will know for sure in the next day or so.

Private Snafu · 15-08-2011 11:38pm

would it be ok for people to make their own way over though?

Damo 2k9 · 20-08-2011 1:27am

Any word on bus pick up points?

munster_mafia · 20-08-2011 2:59am

At the moment Damo there will be one leaving from Dublin but at the moment we are unsure of from where. But it is something that's currently being decided.

chris20 · 20-08-2011 12:06pm

From right outside my house (fingers crossed) lol :-)

Lemming · 20-08-2011 6:15pm

What is the game-cost only? i.e. for those not availing of organised transport & travel arrangements.

Damo 2k9 · 20-08-2011 7:28pm

So party in yours before hand then

Dont have the figures in front of me at the moment but I think its either £35/45.

Inari · 21-08-2011 6:00pm

Any rough details on game-plan? I don't mean to pester, but I'd just be interested in knowing what to expect. The venue looks excellent, but with having to book time off of work, and away from the GF (that's the hard part), I'd really need a little more info.

Basically all I'm looking for is:
- Rough gameplay style (Speed-soft, scenario play, story-driven, simulation etc)
- Equipment requirements/limitations (Ammo/mag limit, uniform/clothes restrictions etc)

Having never travelled with Airsoft before, I'd say this will be a good first

munster_mafia · 21-08-2011 10:52pm

Some info

# Players

50 (2 teams), may increase slighty if UK based lads on here join in.

Loadouts / Uniforms

Team 1 Greens and Black
Team 2 Tan and Multicam.

Ammo

There will be ammo restrictions in place, not 100% yet on mid caps only.

Medic Rules

We are looking into using some advanced medic rules, different respawn times depending on where your hit etc...

Game

This will be a story line driven milsim game with multiple objectives that have to be completed throughout the day. Hoping to nail this down during the week, obviously we went tell ye the game beforehand but will throw up some teasers.

Pick Up Locations

Talking to few guys at the moment as to where is most suitable.

Thanks man, good stuff

Lee from First and Only will be getting in contact with Charlie in AWOL about the pyro. Going on last years event we had the prices at the end of september and had to pre-order by the end of October. Also the price was roughly around the €3 mark.

Damo 2k9 · 28-08-2011 3:05am

Right lads, last question i promise :P
When you pay the deposit, when does the other 60 euro have to be paid ?

No probs about the questions Damo, ask away.

The other 60yoyo will be collected on the ferry.

Lemming · 28-08-2011 10:59am

For UK-based players, do you require a deposit (and if so, how much) or do we just turn up and pay on the day?

Puding · 28-08-2011 12:43pm

deposit paid, should be fun

Damo 2k9 · 28-08-2011 2:50pm

Gonna try drop my deposit out to the lads in AWOL during the week, this sounds too good to miss

Few things popped up and we haven't had time to sit down and work out more details on the story line yet. Hope we'll have something for ye soon

munster_mafia · 06-09-2011 12:41am

As Pyro said a few things came up. BUT im working on it right now.

Lemming · 20-09-2011 11:46pm

Right lads, stick down two more places please; myself & FK attending from the UK so we'll make our own way down to the Mall on the day. Dunno about camo colours yet; are the briefings & teams available yet?

pyro jim · 21-09-2011 11:19am

Thanks Lemming

Not yet, Brian and myself will have something up tomorrow night, crap hit the fan where I work so I've been up the walls with that and we haven't had time to sit down and get it sorted yet.

pyro jim · 27-09-2011 2:33am

OPERA experiment invites scrutiny of unexpected results....

It seems that researchers working in one of the world's largest physics laboratories, under a Shopping centre in Reading, have recorded particles travelling at a speed that is supposedly forbidden by Einstein's theory of special relativity.

In the experiment, neutrinos are generated at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) particle accelerator at the CERN LHC complex in Reading and further accelerated down a 1 km beam line toward the Castle Laboratory in Athlone Ireland. At Athlone, a detector instrument called OPERA measures the neutrinos. The distance from Reading to Athlone is 732 km straight through the Earth, traveling up to 11.4 km below the Earth’s surface.

We have lost all communication with scientists at the Reading complex, we believe terrorist have taken over the lab and are working on experimental weapons using technology similar to the SPS to... take over the world!
A recon team are currently en-route to scout out the base and report back before we launch a full on assault.

Below we have some artist impressions of what is going on in there:

And this image was found on facebook:

chris20 · 27-09-2011 2:37am

Sounds good lads can't wait

chris20 · 11-10-2011 11:41am

Hey lads any updates

pyro jim · 14-10-2011 2:36pm

Lee from First and Only has e-mailed me with a price on the pyro.
We will be taking orders and payment before Friday 29th of October

Thermobaric Grenade
Box 50 - £160 (£3.20 each) ~€3.65
Box 20 - £68 (£3.40 each) ~€3.88

Normal prices on the day
1 - £4 each ~€4.56

Any more questions PM me for my mobile.

Puding · 14-10-2011 2:51pm

anymore info yet? like teams and camo requirements, also can we get confirmation of pick up locations and times

also an update on rules would be nice, first page says milsim with mid caps others contradict this

horgan_p · 14-10-2011 3:03pm

/crosses fingers for midcap milsim madness......

I do wonder though if there really are people out there playing airsoft who dont own midcaps ? It's for another thread I know.

Lemming · 17-10-2011 11:01pm

/bump.

Organisers, you really need to get your skates on please; we are inside of three weeks to go and people need time to organise kit, sort transport, etc.

horgan_p · 24-10-2011 2:53pm

Gentlemen ,
One week on from the last request for information.

Please ,

1) DEFINITIVELY what are the ammo limits / rules re: midcap or hicap mags?
2) What are the arrangements to meetup with this bus (times / places)?
3) What is the game type (milsim / soft milsim / skirmish / bb festival ) ?

The deposit for this was paid back in August. We are approaching the end of October. Some information / visibility of organisation is required , failing this my next post will be to cancel and request my deposit gets refunded.

Lemming · 24-10-2011 3:39pm

I would like to echo what horgan_p has written above; it's a four hour drive each way for me, and tbh I'd like to know wtf is going on before I leave at 04.30h on Saturday morning ....

With just under two weeks to go and no further information, this just isn't on. I've got it easy with my travel plans vs. many of those travelling and I'd still reconsider with the scant details provided as that sort of travel time & cost for absent organisation just isn't worth the effort.

FYI Puding, found this a few pages back buried on pg.2
