Patrick and the team hosted an unusual airsoft game on Saturday night and man it was a bit of a disaster.  There were three elements in this game, an army, a mercenary group and a civilian population.  The issues began even before the game started, when the game was posted months ago we indicated that the civilians should well dress like civilians, not to come in full kit and that there would be periods where they are not actively fighting and would have no weapons. I guess people do not read so well these days and there were many “civilian” came wearing some sort of camo along with a full military loadout.

Seems like much of the Southern Ontario airsoft community is willing or ready to go to a themed airsoft game, the first half did not run much better as civilians were blatantly disregarding the rules.  Yes it was chaotic and confusing from the get go, it was set up that way because a civilian population under occupation would not be as organized as say the military.  What was suppose to happen was there would be a small group of insurgents which would stir up crap and get either the PMCs or JOTF (military) to shoot unarmed civilians and then the uprising could start.  It never got off as there was a group of civilian players who couldn’t wait, walk around in full kit and openly skirmished with the other forces.  Anyway that totally screwed up the game dynamics and for the next few hours, game control was trying to sort things out.

After a unscheduled break, the game restarted and things went a lot more smoothly.   Anyway yeah it’s not a typical airsoft game and those who were causing problems left and they definitely did not want to play a mil sim, they were looking for a skirmish.  Good riddance! Anyway the second half of the game went much more smoothly and I think we got a lot of decent game time in.  Here are a few pics, man you gotta give Eddy credit for the awesome signs. 😉

Even though I brought the PTW to the field, I ran the entire night with my TM Glock 17 in a covert civilian loadout. 🙂

Sunday was less eventful, I was pretty damn tired from the night game so Maggie and I stayed at home and cleaned up a few things.  Watched the World Cup and it was a decent game, got to give Paul the octopus credit for calling it and being perfect!  Later the fridge Maggie and I bought last week was delivered and I’m glad to have it.  Our old (and it was really ancient) fridge was junk and needed to be replaced but only had resources to do it recently (after doing all types of things to the house).

We got the Samsung RB194, the reviews were mostly positive and I’ve always liked their products. 🙂  Hopefully it works out well for us.
