What is Mil Sim?
Mil Sim stands for Military Simulation. Mil Sim Airsoft is all about understanding and appreciating the working orders of the real military by providing attendees both Warning Orders (WarnOrd or commercially known as Player Kit), and an unique combat environment with noted retired and former Military personalities to lead participants in combat. Mil Sim is about following orders and watching out for your battle buddy, not "Hot Dogging". Mil Sim is about gearing up in the proper uniform/gear and focusing on your Mission. In short, Mil Sim is about "Honor-Tactics-Unity".
How different is it from Paintball?
Standard paintball tournaments are non-military and operate in a series of 10-15 minute games based on capture the flag or speedball. Each team is usually made up of 5-6 individuals.
Lion Claws series events are based on military style missions with a military style command structure. Each scenario could run anywhere from 90-180 minutes up to and including including full day scenarios. Each Squad is made up of 12 personnel, each Platoon is made up of 4 squads plus a Platoon Leader and a Platoon Sergeant. Depending on the size of the event, each Company could consist of 3-4 platoons. Each event can have one or more Companies per side, and each side will generally have a VIP Commander.
