I do get that real life tactics would be too violent/dangerous to have at an airsoft milsim (hence the 'sim' part). And I get that restriction of movement is a issue with airsoft....and that it's magnified by the practicalities of airsoft (i.e. they don't shoot through walls/doors...range is limited...etc...) You lost me a bit with... "But I disagree with Comm's, CoC (chain of command) and attitudes!! DO to the fact I feel most "MilSim" events I have participated in have those three elements in them!! Maby not Military standards but not to far off!!!" Do you mean that because of some of the "rules" about movement (i.e. not going through windows, breaching roofs, using this door vs. that door, etc...) the game is spoiled/constrained? I can see that. At one venue we had some very....ummmm, spirited....players come up with some very innovative ways of problem solving. Barricading doors, setting up barricades, using/moving hard cover, breaching holes in roofs to access/bypass things, scaling the side/exterior of a building. - Effective...sure, worked very well. - Destructive...yes, and the field owner had to make the call on it (ended up...put down $$$$ deposits to cover damages/repairs) - Dangerous...yes, beyond the tolerance of the host and field owner In the end, was it allowed to continue? No. In some games the host would impose those "restriction of movements" (if I get you right)....in other instances the field owner made it prohibitively expensive. So...what are you left with? Simply to work within those conventions. Adapt to what's permissible and work within those constraints. 90% of the time those constraints should be there for either monetary/safety reasons, so there's no ifs ands or buts...the remainder may be there to suit the game and if the host determins it to be so, there's no ifs ands or buts. |

To foxhound...
I agree with the respawn comment! I'm Not saying we should blow everything up or smash windows or whatever!!! What I am saying is In the real deal we would seak ways to use the terrain at our Disposal To OUR ADVANTAGE in ways we can not in airsoft.... there will always be rooms out of bounds or buildings your not aloud in our a road one can not use do to RULES made by the game staff or by the owner!!! Which limit the amount of movement and tactics one team can use.... I'm not saying there is a way around this... im just stating MilSim can and will only be The way it has been ran 9/10 wasy in the past, in most ways do to the RESTRICTIONS on WEAPONS and the RESTRICTIONS on MOVEMENT. Plus the DAMAGING of PROPERTY in a slight form, And the safety of everyone!! I'm just stating the way it has been played in canada in the past is probable the way it will reamain do to these facts I dont know how i can say it any better!! M102404 You basically get what im trying to say!! Last edited by Hunter424; July 31st, 2012 at 13:19.. |

thanks mmmken for starting this post as I agree this does need to get sorted out.
And I would like to thank those who are trying to populate this post with useful info, Not beat there chest! IMO I feel IN the SPORT of AIRSOFT two factors are Key: Duration of the event and space. To make it a milsim... yes CoC, and Comms, Weapons and attitudes uniforms are all issues but from my experience in this sport If you go to milsim events you have these areas covered! I feel the big boundrys are time and space!! which allow players of this sport to use advanced tactic's and a higher imagination to capture obj!!

But if the game is only 24 hours, and reswapn time is 2hours, there will be A LOT of cheating..
I fully agree with Hunter, space and duration are the biggest issues for milsims. But both of them are due to the lack of players and dedication. Last year I've attended 3 big 24 hours games and I would guesstimate over 50% of players drop out at night. If we cannot sustain 24hr game, there is no point of hosting 48hr or more in a huge field.. Canadian players are not ready for this yet.. and I dont know if they will even be...

I agree with above. I see guys at our field drop after 2 hours. Serious. And the games arent even that intense except for moments like this video. (this is when there is zero cover)
AprilAirsoft.avi - YouTube I could not imagine 24 hours. |

Besides hit calling, there will be people who won't wait the full time. You need a ref at the respawn timing people..

True, even then there will be those that don't go back to respawn but will just get out of sight and come back in. Seen it happen more than once!

Unfortunately this is a totally honour driven activity; we can't start shooting down rules because you can cheat... That's like saying you can't have a gearbox with a quick change spring because someone will inevitably change their spring after the chrono... Technically possible, but you have to have some faith in your players, and if someone's spotted taking advantage of the rules, you come down on them consistently.
Same thing with medic rules; it's exceedingly easy to remove any markers that you've been medic'd, giving yourself a free life, but we rely on the players to be honest about it, and when their not, to have the people in their immediate vicinity to call them out on it. That line of thought is detrimental and a slippery slope. What else are we not going to do because it's possible to abuse? |

Sure, but the more restrictions and rules you put on the players, the more temptation they will have to cheat.
