Merlin's got action videos from Fulda Gap, too...and one of the best comments we've seen so far on these is that they are the first vids from this year done in the "Scoutthedoggie" style of letting the action run!

“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!

“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….

“…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!

“#rorupdate: All NATO troops dropped in to Rostov starting at 10pm with the last troops dropping by 2am. Russians laid in waiting and first contact was made at 215am….”
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! Wanna track the action where your are? Hook up with Merlin’s FB FAN PAGE HERE….or hit his INSTAGRAM CHAN, where he’s also posting videos and phots! GOOD HUNTING MERLIN!

“…Yes, it is a highlight video of sorts, but not just of the two day event that took place in Randal Park Mall in 2014. It is a look past into the history of the site from the early days of motor racing, thunder of thoroughbreds, to the eventual commercialization and economic crash of the Randal Park Mall. The video is a great production of how different sites get repurposed into dynamic AOs for milsim events…”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
I think John Lu and Thumpy will both give “finder’s fees” to MERLIN for pushing this one out in his news feed…because this video series HAS TO BE SEEN in all its glory! This IS what the Lion Claws “idea” is all about…and with the struggles behind-the-scenes to make it happen, its a true milestone in the history of milsim in the USA!

This is going to be THE series of Vlog videos you will want to follow from start to finish! Our buddy MERLIN was, for lack of a better phrase, an “embed journalist” in the Vegas SHOT Show antics of our friends, the cray-cray HOLY COWZ Chele, Troy and Mario from Florida’s STAMPEDE AIRSOFT. And (we hope) what comes out of this is perhaps the most-unvarnished, straight-forward look inside the SHOT “experience” that anyone has captured. Seriously, MERLIN goes behind the closed-doors at vendor events, inside the showrooms at the booths where deals are cut-and-signed, and also hits the off-site action up and down The Strip!
PART ONE is here….and you will want to LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE to the YOUTUBE CHANNEL as well as MERLIN’S AIRSOFT NEWS website….not just for SHOT Show…but for all his coverage of the game we love!
AND…BONUS! Lots of coverage of all the booths and announcements you want to see with the same journalistic eye….posted by Merlin over on the BRAND NEW STAMPEDE AIRSOFT YouTube Channel, too!
