A mid winter game!!!

Yesterday was a day in which members of the Elite Brotherhood tested their skills against some savvy veterans of Airsoft. Their group was low in numbers for games they had played, but they faced and teamed up with about twelve other Airsoft players. I sat out and watched the some excellent team play and some that was not so good. There was a mix of classes from snipers to infantry. There was even one player  that only carried a pistol and was a beast on the field of play. My two sons had a blast playing with their friends and made some new friends as well.My youngest son just got the Kalashnikov AK-47 tactical and he equipped it with a red dot sit for more pin point aim. He was one of the beginner players that was involved in the games. It was  a chili day with the temps in the low 30′s with some snow in the air. None of the participants complained of the weather, all that I could hear was, I am hit or game over. Some of the participants were exhausted after the contests, and fell asleep soon after the games were over. These kids love this game that is so close to a video game. If you are involved in this awesome sport, tell us your stories here.

Do you always end up on the loosing squad!!!!

Its Saturday, better yet its an all day Airsoft play day. You know that its going to be blast ,and can’t wait to meet up with all your friends and others who are going to play. The time is set and your ready, but there’s just one thing. What if your squad is in a loosing streak, what to do to change that? When you get to your playing field, look for every possible angle ,hiding spots,ambush spots, etc.. All so look for your own spots in which to have your squad to ambush and to set up defensive positions to counter the advancing force. You may have to be more daring, taking chances you would normally would not. You want to change your squad’s luck from loosing,  you may have to develop different strategies to become victorious. After a match try to talk to the others in your squad and the opposing squad to see what every one did during the contest.

When playing Airsoft know the tactics of the opposing squads, if you play the same people all the time they usually don’t change it up to much. They should be predictable,if you can see and remember how the enemy attacks or advances, your squad should get a win. Another good source to get help is to join some sites where you can talk Airsoft. A site like Airsoft Social is a good site because it is a site that is up and coming and is social site just for Airsofters like you.
