GREAT WORK here by James and the TWiA gang to bring one of the unique parts of the MilSim West (and, also RAPTAC…yea, you’ll hear ‘grunts’ of all stripes in this one!) experience…an after-event AAR designed to capture the players’ input on making these evolutions even better.

“I final report from Rostov comes as the NATO forces push into the munitions factory. Just as it seems all is lost for the Russians, a huge storm rolls through the facility, causing NATO to have to fall back and take cover. Once the storm settles, NATO and Russia appear to be at a stalemate through out the night. However, miscommunication between Russian Command and the forces on the ground allow NATO forces to sneak into the factory in the middle of the night an eliminate their objectives. By the time the Sun rose early Sunday morning, Russians had pushed NATO forces out of the factory, but it was to late. More Information: Sponsors:
Thumpy Covey's insight:
These videos are AWESOME, because Merlin did the hard work before he rolled video…he thought through the action, got cams and views from the right angles…then he tells a great story with a few words, and lets the ACTION take over! GOOD STUFF!
Scoop.it!
“After having airdropped in the middle of the night, NATO forces now move towards the gate that leads into the munitions factory in order to relocate their CP. They are slowed down by an intense battle when they come across a Russian patrol guarding the gate. More Information: Sponsors:
Thumpy Covey's insight:
WOW! Multi-cams and a great setup…then MERLIN just lets the action flow across the MilSim West A.O. in South Carolina! Er, Rostov. Yea, Rostov….
Scoop.it!
“MilSim West and Raptor Tactical Applications and Operations (RAPTAC) did an absolute stand up job with this event. It was the hardest game that we’ve ever been to. Challenged us physically as well as mentally. Unfortunately I was completely exhausted and didn’t get many photos during the event. These are a mix….”

“#rorupdate: All NATO troops dropped in to Rostov starting at 10pm with the last troops dropping by 2am. Russians laid in waiting and first contact was made at 215am….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
And our Media Mogul Man MERLIN is also ’embedded’ as a journo with the forces at MSW’s RAID ON ROSTOV….and because this event is close to Darlington, SC…great cell coverage is allowing media guys there to actually FILE COVERAGE FROM THE EVENT! Wanna track the action where your are? Hook up with Merlin’s FB FAN PAGE HERE….or hit his INSTAGRAM CHAN, where he’s also posting videos and phots! GOOD HUNTING MERLIN!

“We are here, at MilSim West‘s Raid on Rostov! This AO is unbelievable… here is the first aerial recon footage. Stay tuned for more! #MilSimWest #ZShot #ZShotInc
Thumpy Covey's insight:

Thumpy Covey's insight:

“Indirect fire provided by Weapons Platoon at Milsim West: Strike on the Steppes. Both members aren’t part of 9th Group but we thought we would post the video of them anyways. Check out our Facebook:
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Again, vertical video syndrome…but watch how cool this looks! One of the things that MilSim West has added over ordinary games…you need a crew to serve a crew-served weapon, you need a spotter/team to CALL FOR FIRE…and you want some auditory feedback on both ends of the mortar strike…where the arty sims and smoke downrange come in!

“MSW’s “Battle for the Caucasus” held at Camp Guernsey, Wyoming in August of 2015. Russian vs. Nato forces. 44,000 square acres… the largest milsim AO I have ever seen or played on.

“MilSim West, in conjunction with Tactical Tailor, is proud to announce the MilSim West Radio Pouch! The most commonly used radio in airsoft is the Baofeng UV-5R. They are cheap and easy to program however their small size means they won’t fit well in standard radio pouches sized for military radios like the PRC-148 and PRC-152. Until now there has not been a commercially available..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Now THIS is how you become an INNOVATOR! MSW knows good events, they know good kit…what works and what DOESN’T. And, drawing on their real-mil experience in the Long War…and their need for milsim comms protection and performance at a price-point their customers can afford, they worked with real-gear manufacturer Tactical Tailor to create this new radio pouch. Read about it and get “hooked into the ‘net” to get yours as they start flying off the TT production line soon!….CLICK THE PIC to ask questions or get details from Joshua, Brian and the gang at MSW’s Facebook Fan Page!

“That feel when after waiting for 4hrs you see 30+ infidels come out of the woods….” “Shit went down after 4 hours of chilling in our little spot in the woods. 2-1 overwatching a clearing. Opposite side was the NATO main base and we were expecting an attack….”

“…What you just read was an extension of my role as Journalist during Raid no Rostov. What follows is my observations of the MilSim West’s first event on the East Coast. My biggest complaint of the whole event was the…”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
MERLIN was an “embed journalist” for MilSim West’s “RAID ON ROSTOV” last weekend in South Carolina…which put him in a very unique position to see both sides of the action and to put the whole experience into perspective as a ‘new wave’ event production team brought their concepts to a new A.O. and to a new player base. How did it work? What’s was cool…and what what too HOT to handle? READ THE AAR over at Merlin’s News Chan…and then weigh in with your input!

“Follow our hosts James and Jon LIVE! from Milsim West’s Raid on Rostov! They will be reporting on camera as the battle unfolds! Continuing coverage will persist live through the night via NODs! More information to follow, so stay tuned….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
More MilSim…MORE MEDIA! We love it that THIS WEEK IN AIRSOFT has muddy Russian ‘boots on the ground’ in South Carolina for MilSim West’s “RAID ON ROSTOV” this weekend! Catch all of the coverage…and more from the left coast’s Airsoft GI BB WARS Event, too…from the TWIA GANG!

“РПГ-26: http://airsoft-rus.ru/catalog/1028/27…
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Yea, this is gonna be almost UNOBTANIUM for Russian geardos! But, boy-oh-babushka, you see the video with those TAG-alike rounds going 90 meters downrange and the WANT IS STRONG! As best we can tell, these are de-mil’ed actual RPG-26 launchers, and would probably not pass muster at a safety check anywhere short of a RUSSING RUSSIANS horde storming a MilSim West Event! Still….you got the bucks and take the risk…you’d be the best-armed Eastern Bloc Anti-tank gunner in the West!

"Evolve or go extinct? With the rise of more realistic and immersive milsim events being offered today, is it inevitable that old school milsim producers will go extinct unless they evolve? The answer is not a simple answer, depending on whom one speaks with and their opinion on…”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Yea, this has been on the mind of a lot of players and media guys lately…kind of a “what’s next” for the development of MilSim…and DARKHORSE is all over it as usual with his latest ONE GRUNTS OPINION.
