FCS Pro Challenge - October 29th @ The Mall

[Janno]

Hi there,

I just thought i'd let the airsoft community know about the upcoming FCS Pro Challenge:



This is an event aimed at the hardcore airsofter: Rather than focusing on a single mission brief, this will test the player's ability to rapidly adapt to their situation, taking them from one hotspot to another in a series of different missions. Also, teams are scored on their tactical performance and protocols. For example, a covert bodyguard team that makes their principle nervous by behaving like a bunch of gun-toting cowboys, will have a lower score than a team that acts cool and professional. Equally, a team that is able to cover and extract their casualties will score higher than a team who just leaves them for dead. Every scenario has an objective (or multiple objectives), and the team's ability to successfully complete their mission will carry the bulk of the points.

This is a fresh spin on airsoft, combining the realism and intensity of a milsim event, with the action and adrenaline of a skirmish. We will also be splitting participants into squads, and setting up a dedicated training area for them to practice drills, or develop their skills with tactical instructors.

My brief description really doesn't do the event justice though, so we've placed a preview of what to expect up on our website: HERE

A full itinerary of the day can be found on our website in the "Events" section - www.firefight.co.uk

Finally, we are offering significant discounts to squads of 4+ who would like to book themselves onto the event. This can be booked through the website as normal (select the "team ticket" option). There is also an advance-booking discount code that can be used to get £5 off when placing a booking (please note that it expires at the end of this month). The code is: wxk-39932

Best regards,

Andy @ FCS

Should be a good day, have booked my place already. I know people are looking forward to this.

There was a thread on here about the mall and how it might be good to have ammo lmits - fcs usually have ammo limits of 300 and semi fire only, dont know if they plan on doing this here.

It should be a more tactical day, but the skills you can pick up here can really help in other airsoft games. A bit of tactics and teamwork can make for very exciting skirmishes!

It is more expensive than a normal skirmish, but it is somehting different and i personally am looking forward to getting some instruction.

If you normally play at the mall, why not try something a bit different.

Do FCS not have thier own site anymore?

Re: FCS Pro Challenge - October 29th @ The Mall

They were at Bexley, which is being demolished, and they were going to Northflleet, which is being demolished! Same situation as Elite really.

I believe the demolition of both came as a surprise to Elite and FCS, so I imagine both are busy looking for new sites.

The mall event was planned as a special event anyway, which is why its at the mall i believe.
