General Airsoft Game Discussion / Re: Great news for Bisbee, Tombstone, Sierra Vista and traveling airsoft friends...

I hosted a small skirmish at the field and the results were disheartening.

Pros:
  • Some amazing terrain that simulate jungles. Thick vegetation that offers ample of cover and concealment.  The elevation changes are not too drastic and offer some tactical advantage but leave a player vulnerable due to the lack of cover on the hills.
  • Private land with the full permission and encouragement of the land owner.
  • Plenty of space to field 30 v 30 games.
Cons:
  • The road into the land is difficult for a 2wd car. The unpaved road crosses some small washes that may bottom out a lower riding vehicle.
  • A SEVERE hazard on the field is several holes in the ground that are at least 3' deep, and only 1-2' in diameter and hidden by the vegetation.  A player can easily snap a leg if he fell into one of these while moving.
  • Most of the brush is composed of thorny bushes that make traversing off the paths uncomfortable
  • The land is located east of the San Pedro River which makes the drive from Tucson or Phoenix less than convenient.
  • There is no road that traverses the field, so deploying the far team is problematic
  • The similar valleys cause terrain confusion for those new to the area. Easy to get lost. Placing preexisting props would be a pain in the butt.

With that said, I'm not planning on hosting any large games at this location.  I am filming some action scenes there for a micro movie.

Knight Watch is still in negotiations with the Babacomari Ranch attorneys to solidify an agreement to use their land for OPs. The talks are going well, but movement is slow.  A good sign is that they have given me a the code to the Eastern gate.  We have walked with the ranch foreman and picked out three potential fields that have the river running through them.  If it goes as I predict we will have three fields (70 acres each) that we can use. I'll let everyone know as soon as I get something solid.

It's been about 5 months since arriving to Sierra Vista. The link below is to a video compilation of most of the events Knight Watch has hosted in that time.

We have the Command Post and LP/OP covered.  Check out the Knight Watch Modular Bunker System.

The SVA crew is doing a walk-around Saturday and we will take a lot of pictures.  The running idea at this time is to make a series of games based on a Vietnam theme hosted at this new land.

This is a link to a video that shows the typical density of the vegetation in the Valley.  Fire fights will be intense.

In a supreme effort to keep airsoft growing in the South Arizona region, Sierra Vista Airsoft and Knight Watch Productions have tirelessly searched for appropriate, legal and interesting venues for our campaigns. After intense politicking with the City Manager of Sierra Vista, the Cochise Land Commissioner and several powerful land owners, we have solidified a deal ! 



This is one of many areas that we have secured for our games and there are more negotiations currently underway. SVA is bringing MilSim to a whole new level for South Arizona. Come try out a game.

The double layered plastic did nothing to stop the BBs. We did some further testing and discovered simple sheets of cotton stopped any penetration. So, the plan is now to combine the opacity of the black plastic with the impenetrableness of the black sheet.  All for the love of airsoft.

Airsofter1, I've notionally added you and possible +2 to the roster. If you have time, drop by the MeetUp page and finalize the RSVP roster. http://www.meetup.com/Sierra-Vista-Airsoft/events/139378272/   I hope you enjoy the game.

The plan is to use a double layer of 6 Mil plastic.  This will be tested this weekend during the Knight Watch CQB workshop.  If the BBs can still penetrate the panels, then we are going to buy 30 Mil plastic that will surely serve as an impenetrable wall.

This game will have a very ambitious twist to the game play.  Using the Knight Watch Modular Bunker system, the teams will be able to construct their own unique Command Post bunker(s) and then defend it. Who says you can't have a little CQB where ever you want?

 Below are a few pictures of the system.
1. The frame work is laid out.
2. The panels have black plastic clamped to them
3. Now you have walls over 6' high, and instant rooms, hallways, windows and doorways.







I'm betting this is going to add some interesting dynamics to the mission sets.  Imagine a scavenger hunt where you have to collect the pieces necessary to build your Command Post while in hostile territory.  Sounds fun? Come check it out!

OP: Olympus Inferno (Game 6)
Sierra Vista Airsoft (SVA) and Knight Watch Productions is proud to present the 6th biweekly Operation: Olympus Inferno on Saturday, September 21, 2013. Operation Olympus Inferno is a continuous 5 month MilSim campaign recreating the liberation of Georgia from the Russians during the “5-day War”. The previous games have all been successful with two VIPs from Georgia and Slovakia, a dedicated photographer, and a dedicated team of organizers.
To see what SVA has organized in the past, please visit:
http://www.meetup.com/Sierra-Vista-Airsoft

Scenario:
The Georgian/Russian conflict continues!

Both sides swarm into new territory, but this requires that they acquire the materials to set up their team's command bunker. This entails finding and assembling the actual building materials for the structures! Using the Knight Watch Bunker System, the teams will have to build and defend their own custom fortifications. They will also have to comb the battlefield for their assets: bunker pieces, first aid kits, patrol routes and the location of the enemy CP. If either the Russian's or Georgian's flag is captured and taken to the opponent's base, the territory is claimed and the overrun team must flee the battlefield.

This conflict will require both team's to utilize the skills of patrolling, ambushing, raiding, and defending.

Admission
This event is by RSVP only. Your RSVP will let the organizers cater the scenario and its props to the number of attendees. Leadership positions and Non-player characters will also reflect the RSVP roster. http://www.meetup.com/Sierra-Vista-Airsoft
Where:
AO: Splinter's Kill Box. A 50-acre portion of land in Herford, AZ. The area is contained with four clearly marked boundaries with a single point of entry.

Try and bring them Tan.   The Georgian/US are attempting a 'surge' to quell these pesky Russian invaders.

Sad news everyone...the Elgin land owner has pulled the plug and is no longer allowing access to Babacomari Ranch.
We will begin looking for new land immediately, but it will take some time. We are as disappointed as you are.
Paraic & Brenda


------------UPDATE-------------
The new temporary field has been secured. It is located in Hereford. It is NOT the field that hosted games before. This is a new plot of land, simple in its terrain, but secure from neighborhoods and private land.

The MeetUp page has more details.
