You can post up on our forum if you want to invite some of the guys down.
HPA can be filled on site from the 3000 psi air systems.
The Killhouse is indoor and quite a small overall area...but....because it's all split ink corridors and small rooms it feels a LOT bigger. Doors and windows can be opened or closed to reconfigure the whole place and change the environment between games, so there are many different ways to play in there.

This may be seen as quite sad but I thought it would be cool; Il be filming us playing with a mini-camera attached to me. I will have two so someone can attach the other one to themselves if they wish? Its a mini-DV Camera and I thought it would be cool to look back on us playing on our day out. Im going to try set it up so it films first person attached to my helmet some how.

Tack is there some kind of viewing area??? No, it's all very close quarters in confined areas. Hopefully, at some point, we'll get some cameras set up thought the Killhouse though, so we can capture in game video and also allow remote viewing of games in play.

We have lots of plans for both indoor and outdoor site. Getting all cameras up is one of the less ambitious.
How does a real Lynd helicopter sound, mounted on a motoised turntable over the middle of the game area. 2 remote controlled guns mounted either side on gimbals. From any location, including a portable briefcase computer, you can take control of the chopper and control it's rotation and both guns for 'air support'. Of course your view would be via cameras from the PoV of the gunners. Air support mode would b accompanied by appropriate sound effects of the chopper coming in and hovering over the area when the guns then come active once in position 'overhead'.
We have the stuff available to do it all, it's just a matter of time.
Current projects being built are two automatic sentry guns, they'll track and fire at movement and are even able to distinguish colours so they could be 'taken' by a team and shoot only at opposing colour. The other is Mk2 of the LED flags we built last year for Shoreline (you probably saw them at Staargate this weekend). The new version will have microcontrollers in and wireless modules. They will report the state back to a central system, with automated trapdoor scoring and ability to display on a real live map, not someone colouring an image in based on marshals radioing what colour the flag is ;-).
I had another delivery of microcontroller today so I'm just waiting on some more LED's and switches to build my flags. I have the wireless transceivers ready to play with tonight :-)
