Operation Jutland
13-15 September 2024: 36H Combat Mission, Catterick OBUALocation: IVO Tumbas, Al-Fashir, North Darfur, Sudan
48 hours ago, in a high-stakes operation, TF 45 rescued two foreign workers from an Azearian militia safehouse. The intel for the location was provided by Samark Security Group (SSG) contractors, who had been gathering intelligence from local HUMINT sources across various urban areas of Sudan. These hostages were among many reported missing following the violence in Duju between April and July.
Recent escalations by Azearian State rebels from Chad, including the abduction of Sir Edward Thatch in April and the seizure of Habillah District’s government headquarters, have forced JCTSF to maintain TF 45 as a permanent unit, tasked with countering Azearian militia operations in Sudan.
The safehouse was confirmed to be an abandoned warehouse in the Tumbas suburbs of Al-Fashir. Inside, the team discovered stockpiles of weapons, bomb-making materials, and narcotics. In the basement, they located the two hostages. Special forces neutralised all enemies and safely extracted the hostages, both of whom were physically compromised but stable.
Concurrently, Phase Two targeted the insurgent command cell on the upper floors. The ensuing engagement led to the capture of key militia leaders, including a high-ranking Azearian commander who has been on the Joint Prioritised Effects List (JPEL) since Operation Namsos in July.
However, during the assault, the SSG team that provided the intelligence on the safehouse location was attacked at their covert compound in southern Al-Fashir. The SSG team was quickly cut off, and despite an attempted rescue by a TF 45 team, the contractors remained stranded.
With more Azearian forces closing in on the SSG compound, TF 45 is put on immediate turnaround to respond.

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.
