Weekend Gaming

So this past weekend my friends and I were going to go out and play a game of airsoft...... well that didn't happen.  Rain can be a major downer.  But that doesn't always have to be.  Rain and other elements can make a game more interesting... if you prepare for it properly.

To play during "bad" weather......

*Take rain gear of any type.  It is important that you take care of yourself.  ITS JUST A GAME SO DON'T LET YOURSELF GET SICK

*Keep your weapons dry.  Don't pull them out until you really need to.  Spring powered rifles are fine to keep out but make sure you DRY and CLEAN your guns afterwards.  Electric rifles..... Electricity+Water=bad mix.  Probably should keep them inside.  Make it a spring match.  That could be interesting.

*Dress warmly.  Even if you think you will be too hot, its better to be warm and be able to remove layers than cold and can't put them on.

Rain can add mystique to a match but it can also be dangerous.  If it is raining to hard and/or you hear thunder, it is time to call it quits.  Be safe, if it seems dangerous it probably is.  Use common sense.

And even if your game gets rained out, try searching for an indoor arena.  Ask local authorities about abandoned buildings or talk to the owners.  They may just be willing to let you use it.  Some might want to charge you so use your own judgement on that.

Remember to have fun and be safe!
