hey i was wondering if any games will be going on at statewide assault this month or any time soon

[Kodiak]

Why have there been so many big ops recently planned for the same day? Sort of shooting yourselves in the foot here in terms of how many people will come.

 Sounds like a good time though. Maybe I'll be able to go to a Marauders event sometime.

[Marauders Airsoft]

Here are some answers to the questions posted above.

The property that was used for Statewide Assault is no longer available for airsoft games.  

As for multiple events on a weekend, MTT selects our dates based upon multiple criteria.  Some of these include:

   -Staff Availability
   -Weather
   -Player Demand
   -Other Airsoft Events

Sometimes our events coincide with others.  Often they don't.  Just consider these coinciding events as options for players to choose from.

Op: Blackout has a capacity of 24 players for the missions due to safety reasons.  MTT anticipates a good turn out for one of our night games.  These are very popular as players usually choose to play a number of zombie games in the main combat town.   Our staff has already fielded several requests to hold at least one zombie game per hour during the squad's down time.  If we get enough requests, we may hold a double event - OP: Blackout and OP Zombie Hunter.

Volunteers are always welcome to role play for some of the missions.

Please send an email to MTTStaff@gmail.com with your contact info so a staff member can contact you about the event.

Sounds like a blast, but it bleeds into Sunday.  A no-go for me.

I'm keeping Marauders in my sights though. [smilie=armata_pdt_01.gif]

A squad of airsoft players participated in Operation Blackout on July 25 - 26 at the Marauders Tactical Training Urban Assault Course. After raiding a terrorist training camp and ambushing insurgent fighters, the squad had to rescue a soldier who became separated from the unit and was captured.  Visit the link below to watch some footage from the rescue mission.
