NoFo 211 - Callsign: Alpha – Team Leader Skills in Airsoft MilSim (Prt 1)

This week on Episode 211 of the November Foxtrot Podcast, we’re stepping into the combat boots of the Team Leader – the BB-slinging shepherds guiding their flock through chaos, comms, and confusion.

 

Being a TL isn’t just about shouting “move up!” in your best action hero voice – it’s about strategic calls, squad cohesion, battlefield calm, and occasionally, being the one who forgot the map. We’ll be diving deep into the core responsibilities of leadership, how to delegate without detonation, build trust faster than you burn through midcaps, and keep morale higher than your FPS limit. We’ll also chat about comms discipline, mission planning, and how to turn a group of skirmishers into a coordinated unit – all while dodging egos, enemy fire, and that one teammate who still won’t use call signs properly.

 

So if you’ve ever fancied running point instead of running late, this episode’s got your six. Don't forget to check out novemberfoxtrot.co.uk for all past episodes, merch, and more mission-critical extras.
