The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

[Nick G]

We normally find that when it's lower numbers the folk there are more up for a good day and no agro . So play is better and often more tactical . The GBB game was basically the hard core of our local players , some of who have moved to gas from hpa . So we all wanted a fun day of hard fought games with other folk they knew would play fair .

I do wonder if its a correlation thing.

Fewer people usually comes from circumstances, like the above mentioned gas only game or more commonly inclement weather.

Those circumstances then filter for those with the dedication to play on regardless of restrictions, which then makes for better gameplay.

I have no actual proof to back this up and certainly there's a critical mass for a site when there's no room to move, but equally the opposite can be true that too few means engagements are more random chance and always won by he who was not moving at the time.

Those are very good points about specific events and weather and I'd say they probably do have some impact. For me though it's more about having the space to move, when games dissolve into a WW1 stalemate with both teams stretched out in a line going nowhere they get boring quickly.

You're right that too low numbers can also ruin a game but at least then the site staff should adapt the game accordingly, eg moving boundaries
