3 minutes and 15 seconds. That’s all it took for the LIGHT category list to be stormed and overrun – and the brand-new MILSIM category was captured just as fast. After years of lobbying from the ranks, the most hardcore formation finally got its own battlefield, with gear and rules pushing realism to the limit.
We boosted the force size too – 180 squads from 13 countries, with first-time reinforcements from France and Belgium reporting for duty. Veterans agree: this was the toughest campaign in the history of LIGHT INFANTRY COMPETITION. Breaks between missions got stretched (from 2 to 3 minutes – still barely enough time to reload and curse under your breath). And the new NO LIMIT stages. Pure machine-gun mayhem: hit as much as you can in 3 minutes or get buried under the steel.
It took an army of 100+ staff to hold the lines across two weekends of operations – but the mission was completed with full success.
