NoFo 224 - Bricks, Blinds and Bluffs - Urban Recce

On this week’s show, Mike and Andy are diving deep into the world of urban recon - or “recce” for those in the know (though Mike still insists on calling it “recon” thanks to his half-American roots). Urban environments bring a whole different flavour to milsim, and tonight’s conversation explores how to adapt your tactics when the trees are replaced by concrete.

From blending in through roleplay and disguise - think maintenance workers, beggars, or just the right kind of nondescript civilian - to setting up observation posts inside buildings, the lads talk through the tools, techniques, and mindset needed to operate unnoticed in dense, man-made terrain. Expect tips on avoiding silhouettes, managing movement, dealing with practicalities like toilets and comms, and some niche tricks for indoor ops.

Whether you're prepping for your first city-based milsim or want to try new approaches at your next event, this one’s packed with ideas and grounded insight from the field. No trees required.
