Operation Compass
10-12 April 2026: Combat Mission, The TreesLocation: IVO Debanga
Chad’s Azearian state regime has long been suspected to be running a proxy war against its Sudanese neighbours in an attempt to destabilise the region. Azearian intelligence has armed, trained and embedded irregular forces along Chads eastern borders, where fighters routinely cross the border conducting raids, sabotage and assassinations inside Sudan, before withdrawing under the cover of terrain and the civilian population.
Chad has maintained a deniability until recently, the last 6 months has seen the situation escalate with insurgent activity intensifying and many border settlements being completely over run by Chadian supported fighters.
In early March the town of Nyala was attacked with ballistic missiles decimating the local infrastructure. Forensic examination of the targeted sites has determined that in fact the missiles were short range ballistic missiles of Chinese origin namely DF-15 SRBM; these systems are heavily used by the Chinese PLA.
Vehicle mounted launch platforms operated on site to avoid electronic detection, meant that locating the actual launch point was almost impossible.
Increased satellite surveillance proved ineffective until 2 weeks ago when a burst signal was detected ptior to what is now know to be a SRBM launch via remote signal control. These strikes hit the city of Al-Fashir in south western Sudan striking key government facilities and a major hospital.
The signal location has been tracked to a localised area IVO Debanga in eastern Chad. A rugged mountainous area in striking distance of the border.
JSOCTF has given the green light for a covert incursion into the region to locate and destroy what is suspected to be the command-and-control centre for these SRBM systems.
This is a highly volatile operation due to the previously agreed terms with the Chadian Regime. But in light of the sheer number of civilian casualties and the potential that these strikes are in preparation for larger irregular military action from Chadian fighters, the Sudanese Government has given full permission for TF42 to launch the operation from Sudan where JSOCTF maintain border protection is support of Sudanese forces.

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.
