Kaza66 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Hi guys! It'll be my first year at NAE this year, it's a while away yet but I'm looking forward to it! Who else is going? What will you be rocking? And how much extra cash should I bring! I hope to put some names to faces too, whens the time to book? Also, whats the site like? Any CQB involved? I'm looking to get my mp9 properly up and running smoothly be then, but the site is nearly 4 hours from us Nottinghamshire'ers! Where's everyone else travelling from? Kieran.
TacMaster Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I'm a first timer like you, kaza . Travelling from Hampshire, I'll most likely be booked onto Bravo or Others. Hopefully gonna get meself a new toy on site, methinks an AK Airsoft-Ed and Ian_Gere 2
Supporters Monty Posted April 18, 2014 Supporters Posted April 18, 2014 I would go, but it's a four hour drive.
Happy Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Mighty tempted to go, just getting the time off in August is always murder at work
Kaza66 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Alright for some TacMaster! Hampshire is what, half hour away? My main concern is the camping... Gonna be sharing a tent methinks. It's 4 hours here too Monty. I figure it's worth it for one of the biggest Airsoft events across the country though. Looks like great fun Happy 1
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted April 18, 2014 Supporters Posted April 18, 2014 6 hours from me, worth it though.There's not really a lot of CQB though, K. Can you imagine 1500 people in CQB? A better name for that would be FUBAR lolAnd Tac. Yes. AK master race lol. I'll be taking mine along assuming my mate doesn't break it at the game I've (probably foolishly) let him borrow it for, tomorrow...
TomC Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 POSSIBLY going... Also wasn't there a thread about this already?
TacMaster Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 And Tac. Yes. AK master race lol. I'll be taking mine along assuming my mate doesn't break it at the game I've (probably foolishly) let him borrow it for, tomorrow... Considering doing what you did last time and have me an alternative- providing your mate doesn't break your AK could I have a go with it at the NAE? Makes more sense to try before you buy
Kaza66 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Ah yeah, forgot about that Ed! Probably get a new gat myself! 6 Hours Ed? But you're not 2 hours from me - Surely?
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted April 18, 2014 Supporters Posted April 18, 2014 Nottingham is about an hour from Sheffield, and you're South of me. Add an hour for picking people up on the way, food and toilet stops etc. S'about 6 hours. Especially once you get lost in the most white dominant town on Earth. People were staring at my mate Ben as though he were an alien. (He's Asian lol) Last year the trip home was one of the highlights, we were all so sleep deprived that we were literally high from tiredness. Talking about service stations being ideal places for tramps to live, 'cos they're open all the time. Then how they must all set out to make it to a service station once they become tramps, but only a very small percentage survive the journey lol. Then my mate Joe was like, "Why don't they just live in the countryside?" and we went off on one talking about how there's fruit everywhere and shit. Not laughed so hard in absolutely years, seriously. But anyway, you can have a go with it if an opportunity presents itself, Tac. Joe bought one at the same time and it actually stripped a piston absolutely months ago, so I dunno if they're just inconsistent in terms of production batches, or if he was abusing his a little more than I was, or what. Hopefully it'll still be around come August time. Airsoft_Mr B and TacMaster 2
Stormhall Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Lol last year was kinda cool. Although I missed out on the Sunday game as I lost my eye and face pro after finishing the Saturday game. It was fun though. But seriously I'm not going again till I have my own car because public transport and taxis are fucking useless and I had to be driven back to the coach stop by Rick.
Supporters Arden Posted April 19, 2014 Supporters Posted April 19, 2014 Liam' and I will be there a long with a couple of others. If you want to book in get yourself booked in on delta!
Guest Governor Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Been "The Others" since 2011 and loved it every time! The only issue this year is that the weekend after the NAE I have my DofE Silver...
Supporters NickM Posted April 21, 2014 Supporters Posted April 21, 2014 I'll be there with the team, we always play Delta. Its currently a 2 hour drive from where I am but I'm probably moving before then which will make it closer to 4hrs each way. Its worth it!!!! Just walking round the campsite with a beer catching up with other teams is a giggle.
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted April 25, 2014 Supporters Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah, I'll be there, one way or another. I expect I'll be sniping, but I'll take an AEG as well - not sure which yet / may have a new one / who knows? I'll probably be wearing DPM unless I manage to find the money for Partisan before then. "Others" all the way! How much money to take depends on how much food, drinks, ammo,* etc. you're going to take and what else you think you may buy kit wise. If you're there mainly for the skirmishing, you wont spend much unless you buy new kit. The site is plenty big enough to get lost in and has a lot of different areas, but not many of them would count as CQB. Even the village, which would be a CQB arena ordinarily, becomes a pitched battle. Not sure that an MP9 is really the thing, unless as sniper backup. *You'll probably use less ammo over the whole weekend than during a usual day skirmishing, because the site is so big. You spend a lot of time patrolling / looking for trouble.
almurry Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 im going got a few of us coming dont know how many from close action yet but shout be a laugh looking forward to it its my first and will not be my las time going
