Operation Alexandra
18-19 September 2021: Combat Mission, The TreesDespite JCTSF intervention in August, the siege of Lagos continues. Azearian militants surround the city with Nigerian security forces and private military contractors struggling to evacuate the thousands of civilians trapped by Azearian State roadblocks and hunted by execution squads.
The Azearian State (AS) terror group seeks to establish a stronghold on the Gulf of Guinea, from where their weapons supply, distribution and piracy operations can easily expand. It is only a matter of time before Lagos falls into their hands. The UNSC has begun the process of sending aid and peacekeeping units to the region but it will be months before deployment can actually begin.
In the meantime the only hope for the refugees of Lagos is from the charity organisations already established in the area. Though limited in number, these aid camps provide necessary assistance to the civilians caught up in the Lagos siege.
One such camp, a Red Cross mission on the borders of the Omo Forestry Reserve has become a target for militant attacks in recent days. The small group of PMCs assisting with the protection are due to be extracted in the next 72 hours and then the mission will be completely defenceless.
It is assessed that this Red Cross camp is on the resupply route for AS, and so needs to be relocated, but the hundreds of injured civilians in the villages nearby make it almost impossible to do so. What’s more, SIGINT has suggested that the Emir of Azearian State, Omar Gawd, AKA Objective Sharp Break, is en-route through Ogun State with the intention of visiting his new stronghold in Lagos.
TF29 from JCTSF are deployed to intercept Sharp Break, assist in the defence of the Red Cross mission and extract all British and American aid workers before the mission is overrun by advancing militants.

Event Information
Stirling Airsoft events follow an ever-developing, dynamic and realistic storyline, known as All Out War (AOW). The outcome of each event changes this storyline from the smallest of details to the overarching plot and setting of each event. The story is based on, and entwined with, real world situations to achieve an optimum level of realism and immersion. Despite the dynamic story, none of our events are ever scripted and everything that takes place within the game is organic.
There are a few different types of events that follow the All Out War storyline: Combat Missions, Roleplay Events and Themed Games. See below for more information on each type of event.
Combat Missions
Combat Missions are the original bread and butter of Stirling Airsoft, taking place at OBUA and woodland sites across the country. Not for the faint-hearted, these are our most physically and mentally challenging events. Combat Missions don’t stop for the duration and are usually “hard routine”, as real as it gets. During the event, customers will be tasked with a huge range of realistic missions and objectives, dependant on which faction they choose to book up on.
Roleplay Events
Roleplay Events are similar to Combat Missions in that the event runs straight through the weekend, however these events usually have much higher player numbers to feature prominent insurgent gameplay styles and civilian interaction and roleplay. Our Roleplay Events are usually run at one of the UKs main MOD OBUA sites, and the featured scenario is regularly the flashpoint in the AOW storyline for each year.
Themed Games
Themed Games are regularly ran at Stirling Airsoft’s exclusive OBUA site at Catterick Garrison*. These games always have a backstory to complement the AOW storyline but are more of a straight up fight, with gameplay ending Saturday night and starting again on Sunday morning. Themed Games definitely cater for those who are new to Stirling events.
*Exclusively to Catterick, accommodation in heated barracks is available on checkout for an additional £5, otherwise customers will be housed in a barn with mains power access.
Kit Requirements
The booking section shows suggested loadouts and camouflage options for each faction. While we allow for some flexibility with loadouts based on personal preference, camouflage rules are strict and you will be asked to change clothes if seen in violation of those rules. If you have any questions regarding loadouts and camouflage rules, please contact us beforehand.
