Airsoft Events Being Planned For 2007

We are in the planning stage for Wisconsin airsoft events here at Airsoft Battle Zone with our newly sponsored team Wolf Recon for the year 2007. I will give you dedicated airsofters a preview of what is to come for 2007. Besides the first indoor cqb airsoft event being sponsored here in Wisconsin by Airsoft Battle Zone on January 14th, we are going to have a cook out here at the airsoft gun store in EauClaire, Wisconsin approximately the 1st Saturday of March to promote the sport of airsofting. To date we have 3 confirmed Wisconsin airsoft teams that will be present at the cook out to assist anyone who has questions or help with sign up for the free safety training airsoft course. Now there will be a lot of educational information on airsoft safety, airsofting events, rules, and a annual sign up for a free safety and training course which will only be offered once a year for free at our annual airsoft cook out, after that we will hold them once every 3 months and the fee will be $10.00 to $15.00 each person to cover materials. A few other ideas we are discussing include a spaghetti dinner at an airsofting event, an annual corn roast, annual pig roast and the 1st airsoft equipment, gear and airsoft gun rummage sale. These are just some of the ideas that are being tossed around for events for the airsofting sport for the year 2007. If any die hard airsofter has any further ideas please leave a comment to this post or visit Airsoft Battle Zone Forum section and post your ideas. Don't forget we will have 3 great playing fields to battle it out on, we will post every event on this blog to keep everyone informed so check back daily for all upcoming airsofting events or you can visit us online at Airsoft Battle Zone.

Operation Columbian Necktie After Action Report

12/10/2006
The day has arrived for this long awaited airsofting event, Operation Columbian Necktie. The day begins with going to the Wisconsin Country Jam grounds to finish the set up for this airsofting event. We arrive at 8:30A.M. The temperature is 18 degrees outside with a slight cold wind, the teams begin to arrive all geared up and ready for some action. Once all the teams arrived they all gathered at the Airsoft Battle Zone booth to purchase their ammunition and to rent their favorite G&G and Tokyo Marui aeg airsoft guns. It now is 10:00A.M. The briefing begins and the teams are split into equal sides. The airsoft scenario is on, with everyone headed for there positions and I going to my position a heated truck, I await for action reports. As the game scenario proceeds I have the government troops coming to my very heated truck to report they have collected a lot of cocaine and the rebel team is fighting desperately to obtain it back into there positions. I feel they only reported to me to grab some heat as I would roll down my window. Threw out the 1st half of the airsoft scenario I would have rebel players come to me one at a time to drop off items for me to hold so they would not lose it in the buildings and woods they were playing in, but again I still think it was for the warmth of the truck. The rebel intelligent would inform me of there fight so desperately to obtain the cocaine back from the government forces. It now is high noon; with the airsoft team’s frost bit from the first half of the event but loving every second of it they are starving so off to lunch we all go. They all grabbed a nice hot bbq sandwich, potato salad, baked beans, chips and hot cider they all gathered around and discussed the afternoon strategies of winning this airsofting event. During lunch we enjoyed a side show of Wolf Recons team all doing a great dance and of course from my nice and hot vehicle I got some great recorded footage of this dance. Can you vision about 7 men all dressed in camo dancing it was a site to see. Ok lunch is over, on with the 2nd half of Operation Columbian Necktie, and of course with me back in my nice hot position in the truck the troops move into the woods where I can watch all the action. The shoot outs were amazing a couple of times I was even in the line of fire. Watching these teams sneaking and stalking there opponents was great and again I got some really great footage on video. However the rebel troops just could not get there cocaine back the government forces really held there ground. Well as the game went on the day began to end with the sun going down and it becoming colder when the teams could no longer see each other the scenario had ended, so you can bet with neither side winning by night fall and both sides fighting so hard for their cocaine there will be a part II. With everyone packing up there gear and all the chatting on how great this airsofting scenario was and how great the field was to play on and how they can not wait for the next event they realized they were froze and starving. So I kindly shuttled everyone to there vehicles a team at a time and off to Old Country Buffet we all went for some heat, food and great conversation. Our next airsoft event will be held January 14th, 2007 Operation: Another One Bites the Sawdust so feel free to come and battle it out with us. For all the information on this event visit us online at airsoftbattle zone.

Operation Colombian Necktie

Airsoft Battle Zone is sponsoring our 3rd. Wisconsin airsoft event.
Hosted by EauClaires Centurion Airsoft Team:

Operation Colombian Necktie Background:


The South American country of Colombia is one of the highest exporters of cocaine in the world. Its home to many of the world's drug cartels. The most powerful cartel in Colombia is the Cali Cartel. The Cali Cartel operates mainly in the mountainous region of Colombia due to inaccessibility to rival drug cartels and the Colombia government.

The Colombian government usually has enough problems of there own without starting conflicts with powerful drug cartels, but this year is different. The Colombian people are tired of living in fear of the drug cartels that give Colombia the highest kidnapping and murder rates on the continent. Elections start this spring and the political party currently in power is fearful of the people electing a new party into office. The Colombian government, fearful of losing office, has gone on the offensive against the cartels. Since the Colombian military is not strong enough to take on all the drug cartels at once, they have chosen to cut the head off the snake and put the Cali Cartel out of business. The assumption is that if the Colombia government can remove the leading cartel, the remaining cartels will lay low in fear of repercussion. This will make the Colombian people satisfied, which will allow the current government to stay in office.

Mission:

The Colombian military has been given the task of stopping the flow of drugs out of the mountainous region and to put the Cali Cartel out of business by any means necessary.

A military patrol, equipped with Russian built SA-7 shoulder fire anti-aircraft rockets, shot down a Cali Cartel transport jet just after it took off from its airstrip. The Colombian army has been given the orders to go into the area of the crash site to secure as many kilos of cocaine as possible. The politicians are on the horn with military commanders and are trying to get them to over run the cartel as soon as possible. The Cali Cartel will be in the area locating the crash sight and will also be attempting to retrieve their cocaine. They will not hesitate to engage anybody in the area and will fight to the death in order to stay in business.

Due to this being such a high profile conflict the Colombian intelligence agency has provided satellite images of the area, which includes the crash sight, known drug labs in the area, and the Cali Cartels headquarters. The intelligence agency also informed the military that there be a small guerrilla faction in the area that is an equal opportunity faction, they will kill anyone for anything and are deemed to be extremely hostile.
