This is a special themed event with different rules and setup to our normal games.

A hybrid of a Sunday Skirmish, a BattleSim and a Mil-Sim, this event features a backstory to build and enhance the immersion and realism. The Newland Insurgency is the second in a series of two day events hosted at Ground Zero Airsoft (organisers of the National Airsoft Festival) located in Ringwood, Hampshire.

This event is a more scripted and organised game than our usual skirmishes, aimed at realism and immersion in the storyline that accompanies the missions and objectives. These will be decided on the outcome of the events that precede them, in an ever changing storyline where the outcome of this game will forge the next chapter. If you like MilSim or BattleSim style games but don't want to go the whole hog, then this is the event for you.

All patrols, missions and objectives for the Special Operations Task Force will be issued by team commanders in your Garrison or FOB. The game will feature medic rules, with the Special Operations Task Force forces having ammo limits along with rules of engagement. Gameplay will stop on Saturday night and begin again on Sunday morning.

The site shop (run by Zero One Airsoft) and our resident burger van will be open on site, but there will be no other stalls at this event.

Camping is included for all participants; or you are welcome to go home at the end of day 1 and come back for the game to resume on day 2.

There will be no armband identification at this event. For realism, the factions will be identified by the clothing that they wear. There are several choices for each team.

Location: Newland/Murdistan Border Region, North East Zamona Territories.

It's been a year since Operation : Red Trident and much has changed. Although the last battle was not a decisive victory for either faction, it highlighted the plight of the people against a brutal dictatorship that was being propped up by the West. With international condemnation the country was forced into its first democratically voted government and leader. In a great celebration of freedom, the country was renamed to "Newland" to recognise its new beginning as a modern country. The new government made great moves to improve the economy and living conditions for its people, but at a cost. The country's mineral recourses were opened up to international mining corporations and western businesses started to open up shop all over Newland. This caused some concerns with the people of Newland who still remember the western world as being a supporter of the old Dictator. A Dictator who treated his people with disregard and brutality.

As tensions rise between the new government and the people, more laws are passed in an attempt to secure the Government’s control. The final straw was the declaration that all former Peoples Liberation Force’s must hand in their weapons or be classed as terrorists. The very same people who put the current Government in power! When the majority of the PLF refused to hand in their weapon's, the Government called on its new western allies to help with security, and to stabilise Newland.

This was the final straw for the PLF and its leaders, who had given the new Government every chance to do the right thing, and the remaining PLF members moved across the border to Murdistan.

That was four months ago. Since then, the PLF have been building up troops and supplies, ready to bring the fight back to Newland. A fight that is coming sooner than the Newland Government expects.


The Peoples Liberation Force
Since their betrayal at the hands of their new Government, the PLF, with the support of the Murdistan military and security services, have been growing their numbers. Weapons, food and medical supplies have been stockpiled along with modern communication equipment. PLF numbers have been boosted by an increase in foreign fighters and mercenary's, who have flocked to Murdistan to offer their support to the PLF. Along with additional training and manpower provided by the Murdistan government, the PLF are ready to start operations across the border. It's time to retake Newland… it's time for the insurgency!

There is a lot to be done before a direct attack against the Newland Government can be organised. Many munitions, equipment and manpower must be moved across the border in preparation for this. As well as building up stockpiles, the PLF must secure an area of land inside Newland to launch their future operations from. This will involve the control of the villages and settlements in the border area. We expect most of the local population to show little loyalty the Newland Government. Any that do must be shown the errors of their ways.


The Special Operations Task Force
The Government of Newland has appealed to the UN for help with a growing terrorist threat from across the border, as well as from within. NATO has deployed military forces across Newland's population centres to help contain unrest, and to assist in policing actions. In addition, a Special Operations Task Force, made up of Tier 1 and Tier 2 entities, has been setup to conduct counter-insurgency operations in the border region.

The task force will be deployed to the Newland / Murdistan border in an attempt to slow down or stop the movement of men, munitions and equipment across the border. As well as stopping the PLF from crossing the border, you will also need to hunt down any who have infiltrated into Newland already.

The PLF will be doing everything it can to win over the few population centres located along the border ,and everything must be done to maintain control of these areas in the name of the Newland Government. Insurgency's can only prevail with the help of the local people.

As well as numerous enemy equipment cache's that need to be found and monitored, reconnaissance of the area must be conducted to gain a detailed idea of the crossing points and routes the PLF are using to traverse the border region.
