| | | Game Details | | | | | | | 
Be part of the first ever Airsoft event in Canada organized with support from a Canadian Forces unit. In Operation Sand Storm, you will be teamed up with 20 soldiers returning from Afghanistan for an airsoft milsim event that will make everything else seem like a game!
The scenario for Operation Sand Storm is based on actual declassified events and missions performed by soldiers from the Royal 22nd Regiment while deployed in Afghanistan. The soldiers/players who are organizing this event were actually on these missions and they will be your guides throughout as the story unfolds.
Here is a sample of some of the stuff that will enhance the experience of Operation Sand Storm:
- Actor/players simulating non-combatants and non-player characters (i.e. pilots, etc.)
- Canadian Forces equipment on load from the soldier’s parent unit
- Camps with pop-tents along with Cam nets and defensive positions
- Observation Post complete with Sandbags and cam-nets on top of a hill
- Mortar pits all dug out in the sand and re-enforced with sandbags, 2 mortars, and cam-net
- An observation tower
- Many props including 84mm tubes and ammo boxes
- Chemical Missile prop on tripod
- Communication Masts
- Vehicles
Uniform Requirements
Coalition Forces: Any desert BDUs
Iraqi Forces: Anything but desert BDUs

What to bring to OP SANDSTORM
The basics for cold weather playing:
- Warm clothing (layering) bring more than less
- Change of underclothes, extra socks and shirt
- Warm Hat
- Gloves
- Warm boots
- Tent (you may tentpool with some teammates)
- Foamy mat for your tent (VERY IMPORTANT TO ISOLATE YOU FROM THE GROUND)
- Warm sleeping bag if you plan on being lazy and sleep!
- Plenty of water, even in the cold you have to keep hydrated
- Food to sustain you for 1.5 days (pack for like you were for 2 days)
- Flash light
This is a MILSIM meaning that this is a continuous game. This means that you will be setting up camp in the respective areas assigned to your team and will fall back to your base for shelter and food. Playing at night in October can get quite cold, it is imperative that you prepare for this event the right way, better to have too much stuff than not enough.
Optional items (but important)
- Radio
- Lighter or matches
- Glowsticks (great for IDing you when you are hit or when you are walking back to base)
- Night vision devices
- Ghilli suits
There will be chemical toilets on location for your convenience.
Sign up now.
