Travis Goldie
Australia doesn't have airsoft, but we do have Gel blasters, so let talk about it and see if we can grow this into a legitimate sport. Most of our Milsims have about 120 players so lets GROW
pleas forgive the audio, its recorded off the cuff so its not rehearsed and polished. but its the real experience of the players

Tonight we talk to Rob who co-owns the property and is basically the spirit of this event and its driving force.
we also have Lachie, AJ and Dan all who have played a few times at this events various locations. Lachie has played both as VC and GI, AJ as. GI, and Dan i think has only played as NVA or VC
people seem to get upset about the uniform expectations and having period correct blasters, but you can here the truth about it not the ramblings of some random player on discord but the actual organisers talk about what acceptable, whats a stretch but ok and ways to do it without dropping more than $100.
so sit back and try to feel the passion these guys have about and event unlike others in many ways. take. step back in time and maybe throw on a few clasic tunes to get hyped for your planning for this style of event. Or maybe use this to start your own p[eriod speciifc event for the cold war, WWI or some other period in time.

tractor just wanted to talk without having a script, so he talks for about 15 minuet about anything he can think of
today we talk about the feedback we got from various places after eastern predator, and some of the ways we are going to tackle the future events
In this episode we talked about the advantages and disadvantages each team will have based on our rules, also some of the outside the game considerations, like the costs of equipping as either team. To hear more about this jump over to our forum at www.opeasternpredator.com or meet up with us at the facebook event on the 11th of may 2019
in this episode we talk about more things relating to what a militia is and the sorts of thing they may do at eastern predator. there are some other bits so I hope you listen right to the end. don't forget to find milsim east & the village on facebook and tell me what you wanna hear.
so i've had a few questions that people have asked me to answer as a podcast, rather than on the forums for eastern predator. I hope this allows me to get some more of my motivation behind certain things clear and allows you to understand why its going the way it is. and a little bit more about what exactly you will do during EP
A lot of people have never played Milism in Australian, especially the way i'm used to doing it. so i cover a range of subjects and content to explain how Milsim differs from normal games and some aspects of milsim you wont normally encounter at a standard game. For those of you that have played airsoft in another country a lot of this will sound familiar! this is my longest podcast and its taken a lot of editing so i hope the quality of the audio is improving. dont forget to see me on and give me some FEEDBACK please https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Sports---Recreation-Venue/Milsim-east-the-village-1114567002083564/
