Airsoft Field Guide #001

G36K.jpg
This is a simple guide on how to build your own airsoft battlefield (Pay attention, this is a small arena setup, it houses up to 4 people a team, but i suggest no more than 3 per team)
I take no responsibility whatsoever about what use the following information is put to.

Building Your Walls

First insert four poles into the ground to build a support, then (Pay attention to picture #2) insert wooden planks or logs into the gap between your poles, to make a decent wall (Try to make the support posts about 7 ft. high and the planks should go up to about 4 1/2-5 ft.) The red represents where you should place these walls.

The MG Nest (Or Sniper Tower)

take 4 large wooden poles, and set them in cement, try to have 13 feet of the pole sticking upwards. at about 6 feet up, build a platform,use 9 inch heavy duty nails and make sure it is VERY sturdy. Then build a handrail at about 4 ft. high, made out of 4 by 4's is fine. Finish it off with a ladder up to the platform. Finally, make sure you can reach the top of the 13 ft. columns with a second ladder. it is VERY important that these poles (On both your tower and you walls) have about a 7 ft. clearance.
The blue represents where the tower goes.

Roofing (Tarps)

Remember those extra-long support poles? Now its time to stretch tarps over them, make sure that they cover the entire structure.
Nail them in, and be careful not to make it to taught, that will make it rip easier.
(Optional: Hang fishing nets [The decorational kind work] from the edges of your tarp to add a more ascetic feel to your structures.)

Cover

Do NOT leave the area uncovered, foliage, more walls and ditches work well, just keep it well covered.

Combat Overview.

Combat on this and similar fields tends to go in roughly this direction, making for an intense killzone, I rcomend using the basic strategy (Works mirrored by either side) on Picture #2.
The red box is the killzone.

I recomend CTF games, and the red dot is usually the best plae to set up for defense. Considering this step is rather arbitrary, Picture #2 shows the best locations to dig a ditch, as they greatly change the battlefield circumstances.

Thanks

Thanks for reading through my rather short instructable, please pay attention, it is my first, so if anyone has any tips for me, It would be great. (Please refrain from comments on the pictures, I lack a camera to document the real thing.
