He slipped the matchbook back into his breast pocket, casting one final glance at the scribbled numbers inside:
“278
51.885364
11.324183”
It was all he had.

Convincing the Major to redirect the units had been a monumental challenge. It had taken forged intelligence, fabricated orders, and even a sabotaged radio to get them this far. The work had been messy—reckless, even—but soon it wouldn’t matter.

If there had been more time to integrate himself into the operation, perhaps it would have been easier. But then again, plans rarely survived contact with reality. Years of meticulous training, only to be thrown into a half-baked mission; yet the stakes were too high to back down now. If the intel was right, this could be the only shot they had.

‘No point in worrying now,’ he thought, checking his weapon. The coordinates led to a forest southwest of Magdeburg, a place that could hold anything—or nothing. He was leading his platoon into the unknown. It was reckless, dangerous—but then again, they were already in the midst of World War Three. How much worse could it get?

About

Welcome to the next installment of our series set in 1985 in a fictional scenario where the Cold War in Europe gets hot! Players will join a faction where using period uniforms, weapons and kit they will undertake objectives and missions assigned to them by a dedicated command team for an authentic 1980s experience.

FilmSim events were born from a love of Airsoft, films, computer games and role-play. Our specialist themed events are a mixture of role-play and airsoft which are designed to give the players the feeling of being a character in a film. To achieve this, we try to strike a balance between realism and fun which will be different for each type of event.

Our Themed Events are ticket only premium experiences which last over two days. They are not intended as “walk-on” days and have uniform, weapon and equipment restrictions which must be adhered to to assure an immersive experience for everyone.

Our focus is on delivering an immersive experience to our customers. Players will work in units to achieve realistic military themed objectives over the course of the weekend. Each faction is run by a dedicated command team who are there to ensure your experience is the best that we can deliver. We have an extensive range of props including many period items that will be used to deliver the authenticity and create immersion.

Players are expected to wear the correct clothing, carry appropriate weapons and equipment as well as buying into the story and role-playing their character. Expect a lot less shooting than an open day skirmish – players are expected to work together, obey orders and rules of engagement and stay “on-mission”.

Engagements are usually fast and furious, with the preference being to break contact and rethink your approach rather than get involved in a sustained firefight with multiple casualties – grab your wounded and bug out!

In most of our weekend events we go guns down in the evening sometimes with the option of night missions for those who want them, before resuming the following day. Players are encouraged to stay in character in the evening and camp in the game zone where possible. On an evening we encourage our players to socialise and will provide facilities for each team to do so in their dedicated camping area.
