MilSim's, or Military Simulations, are a completely different experience from that of a Skirmish game.
Games run for either 12 or 24 hours, with little rest. Each game is scenario-based, so you need to be a player who can immerse yourself in the moment and the story.
Missions may be Overt (Fighting with the enemy) or Covert (avoiding detection from the enemy at all costs). This means that you may spend extended periods without firing your weapon. It's not a Skirmish, and the rules differ from a Skirmish.
Teamwork is key. You will receive Missions by way of Battle Orders over your phone. You work as part of a team to assess your orders and formulate a plan to achieve your mission. You will then launch into Battle. The result of your mission, "win, lose or draw", will determine how the story unfolds and what the next mission will be.
To Book, Click the "Book Now" button below, then use the "Pick Date" button. Scroll through the calendar until you reach any of the MIlsSim dates. You will see the MilSim event, @ 10:00 am. Click the Team you would like to join, and your in.

RED STAR RISING
Currant Situation
The Dark Star III Series finished with JDOGs, Lincmoria Defence force, and Bostonia Rebles working together to defend the entire region from Russian interference. The Russians were beaten back in a hellish battle, but remain poised to attack.
To stabilize the region, the USA and European leaders offered Bostonia and Lincomoria a lifeline. If they end hostilities with each other, NATO will provide security in the region and supply military assistance and intelligence against the Russian Threat.

From my point of view, I couldn’t fault the running of things or the variety of missions we went on; I thought it was all brilliant. I think the only negative thing that showed across the weekend was the poor communication on our team, partly due to a lack of radios or radios that did not work together.
The location is excellent, everyone’s super friendly and has a good laugh; the top quality that BSA provides has meant we are all now loyally playing at BSA sites for, I’d say, a good 80% of the games we play as a group.
Review March 24
Me and my friend have always been interested in the ways the UK military operates and we have both been involved in Airsoft for a while now.
We both thought a Milsim event will be the best next step for us both to learn something new, have fun and also test our fitness. We were pleased to learn that this event is run by ex-military people who knew what they were doing.
Battle Stations MilSim was an amazing experience. We received a variety of realistic objectives, we had to set up our own base, split into patrol teams and we also experienced operating at night.
We met new friends during the event, some of which we partnered up with for most objectives and even managed to successfully execute a night mission against a squad that was equipped with NVG's.
Massive thanks to everyone involved, it was a great experience with an immersive back story to it. We will be back for the next one!

Battle Stations Boston
Our Battle Stations Boston venue is a fantastic 32 acres of historic woodland with a mixture of very close country, open areas and a CQB area.
It's the perfect place for a mil-sim as it does not take long to get you into Battle and it's perfect for all types of Patrol operations.
Revesby is Located just outside Boston, Lincs PE22 7PA.
What 3 words (WHAT 3 WORDS is ///earplugs.abacus.beyond). For Revesby
Can you Handle It? - Working around the clock is a great challenge; there is no "Safe Zone," so you are in play the entire time. You must be self-sufficient and administrate yourself with what you carried on your back for the full 24 hrs. You also get the opportunity to experience gaming at night. It's fantastic fun and something you will want to do again.
Great for a 1st MilSim - Battle Stations MilSims are designed to get you in the battle without spending anything extra on kit or equipment. Load-out and carriage of kit rules will work with what you have already got.
If you have any questions about what to expect, call us and chat with our Training Team, who will be happy to help.
If you think you have what it takes - we will see you there.

Pre-op orders were clear without giving too much away, and I received a personal call to check I was ok with everything, which was a nice touch. Site was easy to find and had everything you needed to setup. Staff were pleasant, especially Darren, he was spot on and really helpful throughout. Missions were really fun, very clear and had an extremely well put together storyline. Really enjoyed all stages of the mission. I would request a little more time to prepare personally, as we didn’t get much time to execute plans but this could be because we were new to it all and took all opportunities to sit down ha! Even after the event, the story continued and left it open to return - which I will definitely be doing. Thanks again
Review March 24
Just been on one of Battlestations Milsim events this past weekend, which was hands down the most fun I’ve had at any airsoft event since I started playing. Really enjoyed every second.
Darren ran the weekend incredibly smoothly and was always responsive to any questions we had as a team, sending out orders 7 days before the event began.
If you’re looking for a slightly more laid-back introduction to milsim events, the ones run here are perfect. We were unsure if the approx 20 total players would work, but actually for the size of the map and tasks we took on, this was really not an issue at all, we still got the full enjoyment even after losing 3 of our teammates who left early too.
If anyone is worried about numbers when booking, don’t be, we had just as great a time with 6 on our team as we would with 50.
Honestly, I can’t quite explain how brilliant it was, the location, the missions, the banter between teams and the stories we’ve got to take away too, including a 7-man grenade kill incident 😂 Thank you, guys for running Dark Star Down, me and the boys are excited to get going again in March on the next op, we won’t be missing one after this!
