About The MAW

The MAW is run by Midlands Airsoft Wargames on a private site of more than fifty acres off Welby Lane at Asfordby Valley, just west of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. It is an easy drive from Asfordby, Loughborough, Leicester, Grantham and Nottingham. The ground is one of the most varied in the Midlands. You can sneak through long grass and plantation woodland, push through dark woods, and assault old brick buildings and a village hidden among the trees, with open ground and runways in between. None of the games are preset, so how each one unfolds is down to the players and the stronger team wins. Experienced marshals keep the day fair, fun and safe, with no team favourites. The site has a loyal following and a strong record in the Airsoft International players' choice awards for woodland sites. Hire packages make it easy for newcomers, while regulars come back for the free-flowing games. It also suits private games, team training days and group outings.
