Operation Skylight - Hertfordshire Location - Okto Eight Milsim

Its not the actual camp and is representative of the kind of thing which will be built.

A decent organiser wouldn't put a grave next to a tent.

If you look back on the Okto Eight page on Facebook, you will see a photo of a tent and hand cart. That was the picture of a previous milsim from the same organiser.

COPIED FROM THE OKTO EIGHT MILSIM FB PAGE

People have requested a SITREP on the situation, so here's a quick timeline briefing to bring you people up to speed.

22nd March - MOLDISTAN TEETERS ON THE EDGE

The Moldistani Minister of Trade is killed when soldiers of the government Moldistan Defence Force (MDF) try to rescue him from his rebel captors. It is alleged that the MDF are being helped by special forces from the west.

4th April - A foreign intruder breaks into the government owned Gorazh Titanium mine and escapes into the night.

22nd April - TERRORIST OR PEOPLES HERO

Colonel Lukashenka, the head of the rebel force, known as the Peoples Front of Moldistan (MPF) is interviewed by a British defence journalist. He claims that the government officials are corrupt and are selling Titanium to the highest bidder and lining their own pockets whilst the people of Moldistan are kept in poverty and abused if they protest.

30th May - MOLDISTAN IS NOT STOCKPILING WEAPONS

Accusations on social media that Moldistan is stockpiling weapons inside the Gorazh Titanium mine are disproved by a media investigation.

30th May - Colonel Lukashenka of the MPF makes a public appeal for rebel fighters from all countries to come to Moldistan to help his group to stop the corrupt government. He makes allegations directed at the country president, of both corruption and atrocities against the ordinary people of Moldistan.

Two weeks left at the initial price of £35.

Going up on 20th June.

 
Hoping for an away match that weekend so that I can attend. More I hear more I think that this is the sort of thing that I want to be doing.

 
Having tried conventional skirmishes, it was the type of game that I decided I wanted to move into.

Something a bit more immersive than skirmishing but a bit less than a full on 48 hour marathon like the big players do. Talking to some of the heavy duty simmers, they spend a small fortune on real steel authentic loadouts and take it all deadly seriously. Not really my scene as a weekend hobby.

It took me a couple of false attempts to find an organiser that was on the same wavelength. I made the mistake of talking to skirmish sites who needed to churn the handle to keep their income coming in and their idea of a milsim was not quite what I had in mind.

Also, I didn't want to run it as an organiser as I think I know my limitations. The Okto guys know how to build props, scenes and have access to sites etc.

The only problem is that Im now busy writing the plots, sub plots and helping run the behind the scenes, I wont get a chance to play on one of the teams. Might be able to get involved i.e. a bit part as an extra etc over the course of the weekend though !

President Gretsky has announced plans to attend the mine opening in person. A headache for the security forces and a golden opportunity for rebel snipers ?

Our glorious leader is a brave hero, showing everyone how he and his mighty army are not afraid of the MPF scum

 
Last day to book at the low early booker price. Going up by £5 per day as of midnight.

 
Taken from the Okto Eight Milsim Facebook page tonight:

The Peoples Front of Moldistan need your help to fight tyranny in our homeland. We are well supported in terms of equipment and we have been given plentiful supplies of Morphine and battlefield medicines to help us in our struggle. If you join our MPF army between now and the booking close date and fight all weekend for us, we will give you a free reusable Morphine autojet for your personal use. This will prolong your ability to fight for the cause...

Colonel Lukashenka - Moldistan Peoples Front

 
The MPF have been equipped with 20mm weapons armed with HE shells by an unknown overseas benefactor. The Special Forces and Moldistan Army are going to have their work cut out for them.

I will post a pic when i can..

ETA and taken straight from the page

INTEL - We have heard that the MPF have received a consignment of 20mm assault HE launchers that fire 20mm HE and AP shells, from an overseas benefactor. Plenty boom boom for the SOF and Moldistan Defence Force soldiers..The launchers are believed to be South African in origin and an updated version of the Denel PAW-20 Grenade Launcher. The new type fires 6 x 20x42mm High Explosive rounds.
