“…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!

"“…RAPTAC is a constant psychological and physical assault that dares you to quit because it’s just easier then hanging in the fight. In this way it will never be for everyone. You have to will yourself to the experience in a way that you can not just be the customer looking to be entertained. You have to be an immersed active part of the experience and an actor in the role you accept at sign up….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:

Thumpy Covey's insight:
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! High Praise, indeed! CLICK THE PIC to go to Merlin's YouTube Channel to get SUBSCRIBED and see all his high-quality work!

“…Registration for “Raid on Rostov” is currently open, with the early registration price of $150 in effect until May 4th, 2015. For registration and event information please contact MilSim West or visit their website at: http://milsimwest.com…”
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

"Learn from the members of Raptor 1 about the basic but often overlooked aspects of attending a 24 hour plus event. In this episode of RAPTAC's Brilliance in the Basics series the viewer will lean about food and water prep and some equipment which is used by the team.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Our buddy WALLY gets folks thinking LONG DURATION chow for long, long events like the ones that RAPTAC, MilSim West and more producers are bringing this year! FOOD IS OPERATION...you can't perform if your belly is gurgling! Learn, DO and get ready for the next big game!
