The Bunker
The Bungalow, aka the Guard House, that serves as the concealed entrance to the bunker of RGHQ-51, the top secret UNSGC base, deep in the English countryside.
Our games are run from a genuine ex-government fully operational underground nuclear bunker near Brentwood in Essex, which is now run as a public museum. The owners have been allowing us to live, work and sleep in this base for 48 hours at a time since 1999. See the
Google Maps entry.
Bearing in mind the Stargate inspiration, this venue is the ultimate in set dressing. To which we bring our authentically costumed activity that splendidly complements the bunker's military atmosphere. For directions to or a virtual tour of the bunker click on the links below. If nothing else the bunker itself is well worth a visit
The bunker staff can provide genorous meals and other refreshments available to buy in the base's Mess Hall. There are excellent toilets and hot showers available within the bunker complex. There are bunk beds in the dorm's, or as the base is quite large, being originally designed to house 600 personnel, there is, consequently plenty of space for you to bring your own camp bed/matress, and find yourself some privacey. The base is of course warm, dry and well lit.
The Combat Zones
We have four large actual fighting areas outside of the bunker, which itself is a "safe zone".
-
The closest is a woodland area on the same land as the bunker itself that is used by a commercial airsoft company, Dragon's Lair, during the second and forth Sunday of the month, which we use for some night fighting and a few daylight missions.
-
Nearby is a man-made tunnel system constructed from sewer pipes, wood and a couple of old oil tankers.
-
Opposite these is a grassland zone that we alone use, complete with trenches and foxholes, and a small wood.
-
Over the nearby road, on another section of land owned by the bunker is our own dedicated fighting zone. This is a mixture of a larger area of woodland and grassland, again complete with a smaller system of trenches which we use for night fighting.
In addition we are constantly looking for alternative playing sites to add variety to the campaign. In the past we have used venues like the former Hot Shots site at New Greenham Common, Mayhem Paintball's site at Abridge and the small former indoor bunker site run by Fallout Airsoft. So, if you know of, can recommend, or own an interesting site, let us know.
