Well In the last thread i mentioned the ship that could be used for airsoft
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSS_Duke_o ... ster_(1956)
The Idea i have had is
Group of 1943 US and British Commandos have to go and sabotage a large german battle ship on the atlantic side of france They Parachute in along with Jeeps? (not sure if they could do that in 1943) The Mission is to parchute in then blow up the shop

two days and two parts to the event
Part 1 is a hour on the saturday night if EX site isnt to far away have a game where the allies all start seperatly and have to get to a certain point (Unkown to the Germans) for regroup, as if they have been parachuted in they all have a map and are asked to bring a compass

Part 2 is the SUnday and on the ship, as i said have some defneces outside the Allies break through the defences and gain access to the ship on the ship they have to secure the major parts, the Bridge, engine room, magazine, place bombs in the magazine, defend agaisnt the German counter attack, then finally escape the ship before it explodes.

Well it would involve talking to the owners first to see if they would hir the site out for a weekend.
Also is it up to H&S standard for a game?

The wiki page said internally the ship is sound,
im guessing if the owners agreed we could get taffy along to see if he would agree the insurace comapny would be ok it looks rusty on the outside but in its probably ok, if taffy didnt want to be inolved we could probably get F&O involved suggesting they either turn it into a permnant site, or help us by providing insurance then they use it for a few special games if they want.

Yes F&O can rent a site like the tunnels when they want so why not.
But ask Taffy first as it aint far from him I think.

Taffy seems like a better option, for one F&O have enough sites allready
SO Oddball 2013 could a game on the Duke of Lancaster?

Another suggestion!!!!

Basicly ZED events is a company formed from F&O for commerical events
but they have a manor site in warrington, its a shame this place wasnt open when we started planning TDD

Loads of washing machines and a bit of a dump though, but good video.

I would have thought F&O would clean the place up as ZED is basicly the F&O Guys
Im considering doing a zombie day there anyway because it does look awesome.
