After their pyrrhic victory in Dagestan at Derbent NATO forces are moving west out of Dagestan attempting to reunite with their forces moving north out of the Darial Gorge so that they can take full advantage of their numbers and push north into greater Russia. There is just one thing in their way - Grozny, the capitol of the Russian state of Chechnya lies directly in the middle effectively cutting both armies in half. To unite their armies, NATO must take Grozny.
Chechnya is no stranger to conflict, it was the site of two major conflicts during the 90s and 2000s and sporadic ones between and after. And conflict looms once again, as NATO forces move to take the city Russian forces have poured into the capitol city, fortifying it and strengthening it against the impending attack.
Join MilSim West on February 5-7 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi for The Defense at Grozny and experience Camp Shelby like you never have before. Blank fire, pyrotechnics, ample military vehicle support, military and combat-veteran cadre, and many others combine to make the MilSim West wargaming experience a unique and immersive one for those who are looking for the next step up.
FAQ:
Q. Can I bring my own POV and use it for my squad or platoon?
A. No. But if you have a military vehicle please feel free to message us.
Q. Will blank fire be allowed at this event?
A. Yes, blank fire will be allowed for approved participants, 21 and over, who pass the blank fire inspection and safety test. If you are interested in running a blank fire weapon you must PM the MilSim West page for permission. It is the responsibility of the participant to make sure their firearm is in compliance with all relevant state and municipal laws.
Q. Does the event actually start Friday? Can I show up Saturday?
A. The event starts Friday, that means actual operations start Friday as well. Saturday check-in is highly discouraged and will be at our convenience. Plan on showing up Friday.
Q. Will this be a 24-hour event?
A. No, this is a 40 hour event. 40 hours continuous in the field, there will be rest breaks however you must be able to sustain yourself for 40 hours.
Q. Can I go back to my car mid-game? Or can I sleep in a hotel?
A. No. You will not only be missing out on an essential part of the experience, and much of the event, but you will also be damaging the immersion of the rest of the participants.
Q. When does registration open and how much will it be?
A. Registration will open Wednesday, November 11th and will be $150. After Sunday, November 29th the price will increase to $175. Registering early will not only save you money, but also give MSW staff an idea of how many people are attending so they can properly plan and buy props.
Q. Can I wait till the last moment to pay?
A. Yes, you can wait till the last minute to pay, but we wouldn't recommend it. Our previous event sold out before the close of registration leaving many who were planning on coming, but hadn't registered yet, out in the cold. On top of that, there is a significant discount offered to those who register early (before November 29th).
Q. When does registration close?
A. Registration closes 3-weeks prior to the event, on January 15th. We would not recommend you wait that long as we expect this event to sell out before then.
Q. Something came up and I can't make the event. Can I get a refund or voucher for the next event?
A. No, we have a strict no-refunds policy. However, you may sell or transfer your ticket to another player. Both of you will then need to PM the MilSim West page to notify us of the sale.
Q. What is the deadline to sell/transfer my ticket?
A. January 15th, 2016.
Q. What are the available sides at this event?
A. There are two available sides and three factions. There is a multi-national NATO force on one side, then a combined Russian with Cossack militia on the other.
Q. Cossack militia?
A. Yes. This will be a perfect chance for people who want to play Russian, or with the Rushing Russians, but don't have the kit required for Russian kits. Unlike the Tatars at Crimean Crisis, the Cossacks will 100% be integrated into the Russian chain of command.
Q. What are the uniform and/or kit restrictions?
A. NATO is limited to Multicam; however, if you bring a squad of 9 or larger you can wear any NATO based camouflage you want - as long as it is not Russian or US M81 Woodland. You must PM us prior to the event if you plan on doing that.
Russian forces are limited to Russian camouflage only.
The Cossack Militia are limited to US M81 woodland and OD green so please no high speed fashion items. This is a militia unit, think surplus not Magpul.
