Sunday 16th Review

Formerly known as Drakelow Tunnels, this underground WW2 factory is an intense and very unique gaming experience. Also there is a 20 acre woodland above. This site offers CQB and many themed events.

Sunday 16th Review

First time at the tunnels and it was well worth it. Never been to a CQB site before (only woodlands) and i loved it :) The atmosphere in there is brilliant, with a perfect mix between lit and dark areas. Some great games and good marshalling. And most of all...honest players, there were a few occasions that i thought i'd hit someone but couldn't be sure, such is airsoft though. I think the lack of players made the day even more tense, i spent a lot of one game with Gaz sneaking through all the mouse holes and flanking around. I've never had so much fun NOT enganging enemy players!

Many thanks for the day, shall be visiting again as soon as possible. One of the Marshalls was recording video and mentioned that it would be edited...will that be on youtube or somewhere when it's done?

Cheers,
J.

hey chap, well done on being a sneaky bugger!

Minton has told me today he will be editing the video the next day or so and it will get linked on this thread.

Well done to all the players and staff.

Well I loved the site! it was intense! A lot of history in the place and the hole concept of it just was amazing..!! only thing I hated was not enough players which made it hard for us to find the enemy and a lot of moving around with Less engagement!..but overall it was a killer! and hence I am looking forward for the videos..I have only one GOOD vid of the Outside games which I will post later..

Sam, you realise the only reason you wiped ACU people out was because they wanted you to see them?

ACU is the best camo ever!!!1111

We did let our guards down and since for many of us it was the first time there..we had underestimated the opponents..but next time we will be ready as a full unit. Only 4 of us came this time when there should of been 10 of us. And hence like said..we let you see us..lol

bit late,,but thats me usually

low numbers + tunnels , ok doesnt make it a really good financial pov for jamie, but for sneakie about and other skull duggery type play, without getting blatted at Every corner it made a Darn good game i think.

Space to move, use the darkness without tripping over peeps all the time (not sure how many it would take for that down there 200ish i guess) , room to shoot/fade back into the gloom shoot again,
the layout makes it Nice and easy to hop over one,, skip down two small tunnels and appear behind/to the side of

and for once, i dont think i managed to shoot own side,, which is rather nice.
TMP + tunnels works rather well, short bursts n the row off it
all in all a Good days airsofting, Decent players , sweet as site, a coffee urn ,doesnt get much better than that
even had peeps in acu to shoot at (says the chavoflage wearing one)
cynical ? who <me>??
