SAFETY RULES
Safety is our top priority. Everyone is expected to follow these rules.
These are the general guidelines, and we’ll
explain more during the morning safety brief.
CHRONO LIMITS
Battlesim/Milsim Limits
Why do Skirmish and Battlesim Chrono Limits Differ?
Tactical Delta uses different chrono limits for standard skirmish days and Battlesim events to keep each style of event safe, fair, and enjoyable for the players attending.
Standard skirmish days are designed to be accessible to a wide range of players, including newer players, younger players, rentals, and people still learning the hobby. For that reason, skirmish chrono limits are set below the maximum legal airsoft limits. This helps reduce impact energy, lowers the risk of injury, and creates a more welcoming environment for players who may be less experienced or less heavily equipped.
Battlesim events are aimed at more experienced players and may allow higher chrono limits, up to the UK legal airsoft limits where permitted by the event rules and weapon class. These events usually involve longer engagements, more structured roles, minimum engagement distances, and additional scenario-specific rules.
The goal is not simply to allow more powerful RIFs. The goal is to match the rules to the event format. Skirmishes prioritise accessibility, safety, and bringing new people into the sport. Battlesims allow a more specialised setup for players who understand the extra responsibility that comes with higher-powered platforms.
All RIFs must be chronoed before play, and marshal decisions are final.
All weapons must be within the site
limits. Marshals have the final say.
Please ensure you check your RIF
before you arrive. Dangerous RIFs will not be permitted for use.
Skirmish Limits
Rules & Event Information
Tactical Delta runs structured airsoft events with a focus on safety, fair play, immersion, and respect for other players. All players are expected to follow site rules, listen to marshals, and help maintain a good standard of play throughout the day.
Rules may vary depending on event format. Standard skirmish days and Battlesim events are run differently, so players should always read the event information before booking.
Skirmish Rules
Skirmish days are regular Tactical Delta game days built around structured scenarios, objective-led gameplay, and accessible airsoft for both regular and newer players.
Skirmish chrono limits are set slightly below the legal maximum to keep regular game days safe, fair, and enjoyable for a wide range of players.
All players must attend the safety briefing before play begins. All RIFs must be chronoed before entering the game area, and eye protection must be worn at all times in live game areas.
General skirmish rules include:
Eye protection must be worn in all live game areas.
All RIFs must be chronoed before play.
No blind firing.
No shooting wildlife or livestock.
Listen to marshal instructions at all times.
Call hits clearly and take respawns properly.
Full auto may be permitted unless otherwise stated, but must be used responsibly.
Grenade kill radius is 5 metres unless a player is behind hard cover.
No climbing trees, unsafe structures, or restricted areas.
Respect other players, marshals, staff, and the site.
Specific rules may change depending on the game mode being played. Marshals will explain each scenario before it begins.
Safety & Conduct
Airsoft relies on trust. Poor hit-taking, unsafe behaviour, aggressive conduct, or repeated failure to follow marshal instructions damages the game for everyone.
Unsafe behaviour, deliberate rule-breaking, abuse toward staff or players, or refusal to follow site rules may result in removal from the game or site.
Play hard, play fair, and make sure everyone gets home safe.
Cease Fire
If a genuine emergency occurs, players should call “cease fire” loudly. This call should be repeated by other players and marshals until play has stopped.
When cease fire is called, stop shooting immediately, make your RIF safe, and wait for marshal instructions.
Battlesim Conduct
Battlesims are designed to create a more cinematic and immersive team experience than a standard skirmish day. Players should expect a greater emphasis on communication, movement, teamwork, and scenario objectives.
The aim is to create an immersive event without losing sight of safety, fairness, and good gameplay. Tactical Delta expects all players to respect the scenario, follow marshal instructions, and play in the spirit of the event.
Ghillie Suits & Concealment
Rules for ghillie suits and concealment differ between standard skirmish days and Battlesim events.
Skirmish Days
For regular skirmish days, full ghillie suits are not permitted. Players may use viper hood style concealment only. This keeps skirmish games balanced, readable, and fair for the wider player base.
Players using viper hoods must still wear visible team identification, including armbands where required, and must follow all marshal instructions.
Battlesim Events
Full ghillie suits may be permitted for Battlesim events, but only in limited numbers per team.
Players wishing to use a full ghillie suit at a Battlesim must book or request a ghillie slot when purchasing their ticket. Once the available ghillie slots for that team or event are filled, no further full ghillie suits will be permitted.
This restriction exists for game balance, team identification, and fair play. Battlesim events are designed to be immersive, but they still need to remain playable and enjoyable for everyone involved.
