SETTING THE SCENE: SETS AND PROPS

WITH THE FIRST “OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT” OF HIS MISSILE LAUNCH SYSTEM NOW WELL AND TRULY UNDER HIS BELT, JAMES TURNS TO THE MORE GENERALISED USE OF “SET AND PROPS”. THIS IS WHERE IMAGINATION MEETS REALITY, AS HE EMBARKS ON A NEW SERIES OF ARTICLES INVESTIGATING HOW THE CORRECT USE OF “SCENE SETTING” CAN TURN A GOOD AIRSOFT GAME INTO AN AWESOME ONE!

Themed games have been around for a long while in airsoft and add an extra layer of immersion and excitement to the player experience. Whether it be WWII, Cold War, or even scenarios based on video games such as Tom Clancy’s “The Division”, finding the right loadout look beforehand is all part and parcel of the “fun” when attending these events.

Whilst the players are busying themselves getting their loadouts perfectly in theme though, what of the gameplay environment? This is where the use of props and even sets come in to get the event location looking as good as the player’s loadouts and, when done right, can make for a truly memorable event for all!
