THANKS JOHN and to all the Lion Claws Faithful…you guys and gals do it right and represent our game in the best ways possible!

Thumpy Covey's insight:
GREAT WORK here by James and the TWiA gang to bring one of the unique parts of the MilSim West (and, also RAPTAC…yea, you’ll hear ‘grunts’ of all stripes in this one!) experience…an after-event AAR designed to capture the players’ input on making these evolutions even better. That quality-of-detail that is improving and INNOVATING the highest levels of MilSim.

“…What you just read was an extension of my role as Journalist during Raid no Rostov. What follows is my observations of the MilSim West’s first event on the East Coast. My biggest complaint of the whole event was the…”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
MERLIN was an “embed journalist” for MilSim West’s “RAID ON ROSTOV” last weekend in South Carolina…which put him in a very unique position to see both sides of the action and to put the whole experience into perspective as a ‘new wave’ event production team brought their concepts to a new A.O. and to a new player base. How did it work? What’s was cool…and what what too HOT to handle? READ THE AAR over at Merlin’s News Chan…and then weigh in with your input!

“I final report from Rostov comes as the NATO forces push into the munitions factory. Just as it seems all is lost for the Russians, a huge storm rolls through the facility, causing NATO to have to fall back and take cover. Once the storm settles, NATO and Russia appear to be at a stalemate through out the night. However, miscommunication between Russian Command and the forces on the ground allow NATO forces to sneak into the factory in the middle of the night an eliminate their objectives. By the time the Sun rose early Sunday morning, Russians had pushed NATO forces out of the factory, but it was to late. More Information: Sponsors:
Thumpy Covey's insight:
These videos are AWESOME, because Merlin did the hard work before he rolled video…he thought through the action, got cams and views from the right angles…then he tells a great story with a few words, and lets the ACTION take over! GOOD STUFF!
Scoop.it!
“After having airdropped in the middle of the night, NATO forces now move towards the gate that leads into the munitions factory in order to relocate their CP. They are slowed down by an intense battle when they come across a Russian patrol guarding the gate. More Information: Sponsors:
Thumpy Covey's insight:
WOW! Multi-cams and a great setup…then MERLIN just lets the action flow across the MilSim West A.O. in South Carolina! Er, Rostov. Yea, Rostov….

“MilSim West and Raptor Tactical Applications and Operations (RAPTAC) did an absolute stand up job with this event. It was the hardest game that we’ve ever been to.

Thumpy Covey's insight:
And our Media Mogul Man MERLIN is also ’embedded’ as a journo with the forces at MSW’s RAID ON ROSTOV….and because this event is close to Darlington, SC…great cell coverage is allowing media guys there to actually FILE COVERAGE FROM THE EVENT!

Thumpy Covey's insight:
A new era in Milsim is about to take root COAST TO COAST! We know the RAPTAC guys and what they have long-wanted to bring to their events…and we also have followed the growth and rave reviews that Milsim West has received “left coast” players. NOW, the best of both meet! How is this a bad thing? Answer: it is NOT! To read the whole media release, CLICK HERE
