Alright, so here is my pitch. I've been around the world of airsoft and milsim a few times. I've owned many Systemas, GBBR's, tons of AEG's. I have owned all the gear from real Ops Core Ballistics' to AOR1 6094A's, NODS, CRYE, everything. I've played at many different milim games from John Lu with Lion Claws, American Milsim with Frosty and JP, John up with Blacksheep Milsim and many more. Now here is my problem with those guys, sorry if I offend you but Lion Claws is not milxim to me. AMS is not that bad nor is Blacksheep, they keep the milsim atmosphere alive with DAM Missions and such, but it seems to me that 90% of the time at John Lu games it's just fat guys running around re-living the glory days. It's not fun or realistic to me, almost as bad as paintball. Now here is where I love milsim. I love continuous simulation. I loved playing with Milsim West and locally, I loved Combat Challenge's AO in Prescott. I love camping in the field, doing land nav in the mountains at night, I love carrying 80 pounds of gear, and I love the real world situations such as being dropped off in the wrong spot at night and having to find your way back to a rally point to attack and enemy camp in the darkness of night. It's just what I like to do because its realistic, fun, and gives you a sense of accomplishment of doing something besides just killing the enemy because in real life, there is more to combat then just shooting. So here is my proposal, can we get enough guys in AZ to want to go back up t Prescott and run an OP like that? I miss doing this kind of stuff, John Lu's games are getting boring. Sorry if I offend you and correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like not has happened in Prescott since Red Dagger 2 which to this day is still my favorite event. Thats my take on milsim.
