Nothing in the works right now for a large event.  We've been taking a break. Mark has been busy jumping out of airplanes and such, Mikey is doing Mud Runs and I've been focused on work (wait is that really taking a break?).   It's a lot of work to coordinate and run a large event, I'd like to do a few small games sometime in the near future just to get things flowing again.  I have an untraditional game scenario I'd like to test out on a small group in the next month or two once I fix my toys.

If you prefer not to drive down a wash and rather a semi graded dirt road, take the following modified route.  This route is more accomadating for cars.

If you want to lean closer to realism, then no.  Most organized games do not permit their use as so to maintain within the spirit of Milsim. 

This is due to the absurd increase of spam bots correct?

Way too many, how sad.

Very fun game and always for a great cause!

Sordin, I am one of those few who might agree with you.  Back in the day the term "airsoft" used to mean most of what you described. Somewhere along the way airsoft began to morph into what we now see in the mainstream today. During that transition time, there were those people who wanted to distinguish themselves from the new way airsoft was begin played and thus began using the term "milsim" to describe their style of airsoft. Today almost every game is called milsim, while in my opinion, most are not.

Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the way a lot of people like to play airsoft.  I too enjoy a good game that requires minimal critical thinking and has lots of quick paced action. It is definitely one of the very fun aspects of airsoft.  But along with those intense bb fights, I also enjoy testing my skills and knowledge. I enjoy implementing a security parameter, setting up and making a rappel with a full load out, hiking outdoors while navigating to my next rally point, trying to out smart an opponent or just having to size up a situation quickly and make decisions for good, bad or worse.  In my view most of the trades and skills in airsoft could be utilized as a good training tool to better yourself, whether it be leadership, teaching others, learning to know when to follow, getting some exercise outdoors, meeting new people and developing a good camaraderie, and learning a few of those basic survival skills such as land nav, situational awareness and first aid. Also it is very nice to push myself over a weekend and then be able to go home and relax after everything is over. I would not enjoy doing these things if I were doing them around the clock for days on end and so I have much respect for those who do or did on our behalf. I also definitely agree there are parts of airsoft that will never, ever be useful. I mean you are shooting a bb gun after all, so the aspects of marksmanship and medium to long engagement tactics beyond 200-300ft are just not going to happen.  I could talk forever, but a lot of what is mentioned are major reasons I got involved in airsoft in the first place and I will always love to talk to anyone who shares the same interests. 

To wrap this up Sordin, a few of us are in the process of developing a CT Challenge that will hopefully allow new and old airsoft players to experience a few of the basic elements that we enjoy so much.  Think of it as an intro to milsim, I want to provide an alternate option to airsoft and share ideas with others. It's a lot of work but I love learning while doing, I hope others do too! So far I don't have a time frame for this yet but stay tuned for next year.
