any amount of water can cause a dead short at any voltage

Re: Amphibious assault

I don't even like to take my AEG's out if its raining.

you could do fake beech landings by building plywood boats around old pickups, and having someone reverse them to the fake beachhead.

I always wanted to play the ambush game using the old Troop trucks.

Re: Amphibious assault

While that its true, im talking more about airsoft puropses in where the distance the electricity would have to travel ie the space between the trigger contacts (2-3mm) is too large for the electricity to conduct through water. As in if you submerged the gun would it fire etc.

Anyway back on the OP subject, id be more aware of sand as stuff getting into my AEG/GBB if playing on a beach.

Re: Amphibious assault

Would be amazing But Knowing myself i would fall in , And even though i have taken a lifeguard course and stuff i wouldnt like to swim with full combat gear on. Cant see how insurance would be a problem in sweden they have games with ex army tanks running up and down tracks , You get squads and a lad with a mock up LAW or At4 With a A massive laser in it like laser tag aim it at the turret and it dissables the tank. Anyways If insurance covers getting ran over by a tank im sure you could take a ride in a boat. If someone organises somthing i woulnt mind paying to join in

Re: Amphibious assault

Hmmm I don't see it working.... awesome idea though. You'd have to have the size of a small army on either team for it to be worth it, i think.

Re: Amphibious assault

Indeed, maybe if ground zero was based at the beach :P you could have all of the weekender players (in excess of 1,100) join in :P im sure 600 attacking and 500 defending would be one hellagame.

If only...

Re: Amphibious assault

The game that Stirling had planned was one of the combat missions they run. These games have small numbers and i seem to remember the 'Amphibious Landing' game was going to be the 100 mark, the story being a foreign power had taken control of a small ex pat colony, and the Marines were being sent in. The Marines were outnumbered, and the occupying force were not aware of the landing point, or, the time of landing.
As such, the marines were tasked with re taking the island.
Numbers would, i feel, all depend on the type of game played, and you would not necessarily need to be high.

You're right yes, but i was just going by the amount of D-Day type games mentioned up there ^

Small covert missions that landed by RIB's would be very interesting indeed!

Heh! We go there every month. Along with UWG

Pretty awesome site as it's kept well away from the paintballing.

Re: Amphibious assault

While I agree that it would be a freaking awesome thing to take part in, I don't think RIBs would be the best thing to do it in. When I was in secondary school I did my work experience at Marchwood Military Port and had a ride in a Rigid Raider, not only did I get completely drenched, but I also very nearly fell out into the Solent when we hit a particularly large wave (luckily I fell in towards the boat and not over the side). If you're going to do it, you'll probably want something like the LCVP (which I also got a ride in, and got to drive. It was fun )
