Sat, 21st September

£28.00 – £85.00

Bored with 15 minute team-deathmatches or capture the flag airsoft games?
Had enough of “paintball games with airsoft guns”?
Want to work tactically with team-mates to complete objectives but never have the time or space available?

Come and try a very different airsoft experience to the average skirmish at one of our Filmsim Open Weekends!

First, what it’s not about:

Our Filmsim games are not about “shoot loads of ammo mindlessly at the other team”; that’s a skirmish game, and you can find that at just about any other airsoft site.

If you just want to run around, spraying ammo all over the place, in short scenarios without thinking too much, then Filmsim is not for you. Have a look at one of our Skirmish Weekends instead.

So what is it about then?

Our FilmSim Open Weekends are designed to offer a more involved, realistic, and fun experience than a basic skirmish offers without being too complicated for new players. The rules are a little more involved than normal skirmish games, and specific rules or mechanics may be added according to the scenario being played. We recommend familiarising yourself with the general Filmsim rules in advance, and listening carefully at the morning’s briefing.

Filmsim open days present a more accessible and casual experience compared to the more full-on weekend themed events and MilSims run by our sister company Filmsim. If you enjoy our Filmsim Open Days but want more, then we recommend you try one of the full weekend themed events found at https://filmsim.co.uk/events/. Team recognition is based on your uniform (so no armbands), games last all day, and rules of engagement apply (especially to Government forces).

General

The weekend will usually have some kind of story/narrative behind it, and we encourage players to get involved with this, preferably with some role-playing (or dressing up) where they can. The story may develop throughout the day or weekend, depending on the course of events during gameplay. Sometimes we run multi-weekend narratives, with the outcome of one weekend affecting the dynamics and story of the next. For example, if a weekend ended with a Special Forces team missing their extraction window, the next weekend may continue the story with them being persued by an angry enemy as they try to reach a secondary extraction or a safe house.

The story will usually be published on our Facebook Page a couple of weeks before the event. We love it when players come dressed up, and are willing to get involved with role-playing rebel freedom fighters, crazy drug dealers, or whatever other weird faction has been written into the game. There is no obligation to do this, but we can guarantee it’s great fun!

Game sessions are longer (usually two hours, breaking for lunch, then another two hours) with multiple objectives to complete, sometimes involving more complex mechanics (e.g. you need a specific person to accompany an item to its destination, or an objective may require several conditions before being complete). The extra time also permits co-ordinated pincer attacks, ambushes, stealthy flanking manouevres etc, that are just not practical in short, simple skirmish games.

Uniform/weapons

Unlike on our full Filmsim or MilSim events where your uniform and weapon type is usually specific to the faction/team you are on, there are usually no restrictions on what you can wear or what type of weapons you can carry at our Open Filmsim weekends.

Most players will be limited to semi-auto only to encourage more tactical play, as well as making that heavy, expensive LMG you encounter a lot more fearsome when it starts spraying!

We also limit the number of weapons, and the quantity of ammo players can carry in the field. Magazines can only be refilled at respawn points (e.g. HQ or mobile field pack). There are few things more annoying in a game than trying to take an objective when there’s someone dug in real good with four guns and infinite ammo…

Very much like some of our favourite FPS multiplayer computer games, players choose their loadout based on class limitations. You can change your loadout/class at any point during the game by visiting a respawn point and swapping out as required.

Save money by booking a ticket in advance at a discount. Tickets are available to pre-book right up until midnight, the night before the event.

We will always accept non-booked players with their own kit where possible, but rental kit MUST be booked in advance, as we only have limited quantities available.

Please note that we chrono using the weight of BB you are set up for in order to accurately gauge the energy that your gun will be producing in the field. Sniper and DMR weapons are permitted to operate at higher energies but are not allowed to be fired if your target is within 30M. Any other guns are only permitted to use ammo weights up to 0.32g due to the potential for unnecessary injury at close ranges.

We take great care to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our site chronographs, if your muzzle energy exceeds the limits in the chart below when measured, you will not be permitted to use it. We recommend when tuning your guns that you set them to around 10-20fps below the limits.

Summer 2025: Marbella, Spain
After years of backlash, the anti-tourism groups across the Mediterranean have escalated to violence. Following a car-bombing outside the British Consulate in Barcelona, Right-Wing Nationalists, Anarchists and Rural Spaniards have formed together and formed the Lobby Antiturismo Para La Población Rural (LAPLPR).
On the outskirts of Marbella, a large group of LAPLPR protestors stormed the local Guardia Civil Armory and took small arms and are heading into the resort to cause trouble. As this is only a small part of a planned campaign against the tourists the Guardia Civil is stretched thin, and the only thing between the Tourists and the LAPLPR is a small garrison on the outskirts of the town.
However, the Brits have found an ally in the North African Criminal Mafia gangs who looking to turn a profit from the crisis, have begun the process of smuggling illegal weapons to the Brits. There will be an escalation of violence as both sides face off against each other.
Join us at Tuddenham for long site-wide games involving vehicles, Molotov cocktails, trouble makers, anarchists and our Filmsim ruleset. Please feel free to dress appropriately in Union Jack tees or Football shirts if you want to be a British Tourist or Police kit as Guardia Civil, however this isn’t a requirement for the day.

Special offer! Weekend walk-on tickets only £40. That makes the second day cheaper than half-price!
