November Foxtrot - Airsoft MilSim Podcast

Tonight’s show is a bittersweet one – after 230+ episodes, countless tangents, and more dodgy puns than we’d care to admit, this is our final broadcast… at least for the foreseeable future.

We’re not going to dress it up with “see you real soon” or “we’ll definitely be back” – the truth is, we don’t know if we will. This might be the end of the November Foxtrot Podcast, and if it is, we want to go out properly.

There are plenty of reasons behind this decision. Andy and Mike are busy building Superflo, Ash has been holding the fort behind the scenes, Lance has stepped away from the hobby entirely, and life in general has been pulling us all in different directions. On top of that, Mike’s about to have a second baby – and as anyone who’s run a night game will tell you, nothing kills your comms discipline faster than sleep deprivation. More importantly, the show has started to feel more like work than the chaotic, fun energy that got us going in the first place. After nearly five years of weekly episodes, it feels like the right time to down tools, take stock, and accept that this may be the natural conclusion of the journey.

So, tonight we’re sharing stories, laughs, and a little bit of nostalgia as we reflect on what this podcast has meant to us – and hopefully to you too. Whether or not this is goodbye forever, we want to thank you all for being a part of this adventure. It’s been ridiculous, it’s been fun, and it’s been one hell of a ride. If this truly is the end – then thanks for listening, thanks for supporting, and thanks for making November Foxtrot what it was. See you out in the field.

On tonight’s show, Mike, Andy, and Ash are joined by Tactical Delta Group to talk all about their brand-new site and the exciting milsims they’ll be hosting there. Covering an impressive 60 hectares, the site isn’t just another patch of woodland — it’s built for immersion, complete with bunkers, trenches, and dense forest designed to test players both tactically and physically.

What makes this site even more unique is who’s behind it. Run by ex-mercenaries with years of experience in real-world operations, Tactical Delta Group are bringing a depth of authenticity to their events that promises something very different from the average game day. With plans to run regular milsims, tonight’s chat will give us the full lowdown on what players can expect, how the games will be structured, and what makes this site stand out in the UK scene.

So whether you’re a hardened milsimmer looking for your next challenge, or just curious about how bunkers, trenches, and a merc-run site all come together, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. For more info and past episodes, head over to www.novemberfoxtrot.co.uk

On tonight’s show, Mike, Ash, and Andy are joined by the one and only Ryan James James Ryan — yes, that’s his real name, and no, your radio isn’t experiencing interference. We’ll be tuning into the world of radios and ATAK for airsoft milsim, breaking down the art of keeping your comms clear when the pressure’s on.

Ryan James James Ryan brings with him a depth of knowledge from real-world, real-steel applications, giving us a rare chance to cut through the static and get to the good stuff: how to actually use these tools effectively in the field. From avoiding the dreaded “radio check, radio check, can anyone hear me?” moments, to harnessing ATAK for mapping, navigation, and full-team coordination, this episode is stacked like a five-bar signal.

Expect a few dropped calls (the conversational kind), some questionable code words, and plenty of laughs as we discuss what works, what doesn’t, and how to stop sounding like you’re ordering a takeaway over the net. Whether you’re a seasoned operator or the guy still trying to work out why his PTT doesn’t “push to talk,” this is one episode you won’t want to miss.

On this week’s show, Andy, Ash, and Mike are diving into the realities of airsoft MilSim - the rewarding moments, the frustrating pitfalls, and everything in between. What are the toughest challenges individual players face when gearing up for multi-day events? And what hurdles does the wider airsoft industry need to clear to keep MilSim evolving?

From personal struggles like fitness, kit management, and mental prep to bigger-picture issues such as event organization, cost, and accessibility, the guys will be sharing stories from their own experiences - the wins, the wipeouts, and the “why did I pack three days of food for a 12-hour op?” moments.

If you’ve ever hit a wall during a long op, wrestled with unreliable kit, or wondered how milsim could be better for everyone, this episode is packed with insights, tips, and plenty of laughs. Catch up on past episodes, find gear recommendations, and support the show at www.novemberfoxtrot.co.uk

On tonight’s show, Andy and Ash are holding down the fort while Mike deals with family commitments and Lance is away with work — but that’s not stopping us from diving into one of the most intense topics in airsoft: Close Quarters Battle (CQB).

We’re breaking down what CQB really is, where it comes from, and why it’s as much about brains as it is about speed and aggression. From team-based tactics and communication to solo skills and personal lessons learned, we’ll be sharing the do’s, the don’ts, and a few “we’ll never do that again” stories from our own experiences.

We’ll also chat about how training has shaped the way we play, the small tricks that make a huge difference, and why CQB in movies and games like Rainbow Six and John Wick doesn’t always match reality (sorry, Hollywood). Expect a mix of practical advice, hard-earned insights, and the usual amount of November Foxtrot banter.

If you’re keen to sharpen your CQB skills, avoid rookie mistakes, or just enjoy hearing about two grown men arguing over doorways and corners, this one’s for you. Catch up on past episodes, get gear recommendations, and support the show over at www.novemberfoxtrot.co.uk.
