Based on a US firebase from the Vietnamease war, the new Command Post is situated in the far exstream of the site. Constisting of over, 800 sandbags, a hundred 40 gallon oil drums, 13 bunkers, trellises, tank traps, camo nets and a Mortar pit.
The main structure is highly defencable postion offering a “last bastion of hope” to defending forces. Needless to say that taking this building is easier said than done and the firefight get real close.
Smoke always adds to the day and offer that little bit of cover for that last desperate charge.
It’s very difficult to show the size and effort that went into this. Either way this is a very impressive centre piece for the site and I’m sure you will all be impressed when you see it.
Home of the British Special forces at Dorking, Camp Bastion resides in a enclave, surrounded by heavy foilage and fortified bunkers. The natural terrain offers a fantastic and often furiuos battle area. The forward bunkers slow the advance of enemy forces, whist the command post offers a “last stand” for the defenders. Often used as a one part of bigger games.
Styled around a WWII pill box, this structure is situated in a clearing of a natural choke point. Future plans will be to build a further four bunkers along a staggered line making this game both fun and challenging.
The placement is almost perfect. Situated ahead of a natural “choke“ point, the defenders have clear lines of sight through 360 degrees presenting a near impenetrable target. As for those poor volunteers who, by default have elected to attack, not only must they try and avoid incoming fire but equally find both the tactics and tenacity to assault, take down and clear out the “bunker”.
The Fort – This defiantly isn’t “cow boys and Indians”! Stained white (paintballs) This last bastion offers a high defendable position against every growing odds!
The trench – Well that is what it looks like, ok it a drainage ditch! Still it couldn’t be better placed between the fort and the village!! Especially now with sandbags and extra fortifications on or around it.
The village – Sporting various structures and barricades. Players will find themselves close up and personal and taking heavy fire from all angles!
As Dorking is uses an existing paintball site for its sazezone and some of the gaming areas, we are fortunate enough to have propper toilets and kitchen.
We have completed the first two sections of the safezone with plans to increase the amount of table sapce. A Third section will be erected in 2009.
There are also streams you can fight in!!!
