THE BARRETT CROSSING

Hosted by: R&D MilSim
Date: May 30 – 31, 2026
Location: Tall Pines ATV Park, 1812 Jones Rd Spur, Andover, NY
Entry Fee: $1 (yes really)

Event Overview

NATO has pushed RUSFOR forces out of Oak Ridge and driven them into Barret Valley. A large RUSFOR encampment has been discovered — dug in and ready for a fight. NATO now controls the western ridge along Bullard Road and is preparing to deliver the final blow.

The Barrett Crossing is a 24-hour continuous MilSim operation designed to test endurance, teamwork, and tactical execution.

This year’s event is a $1 operation — part of R&D MilSim’s mission to deliver immersive, affordable MilSim experiences. Players are expected to bring required consumables and equipment.
