Mils.im is an Airsoft Events management platform from Airbana that allows Site Operators to manage attendance at their events and provides a Skirmish Diary to the attendees of those events.

Site Operators can create an event listing all the details, rules etc and specify how many walk on or hire places there are (and the prices) as well as create additional types of attendance.

Once Skirmishers have signed up a Site Operator can monitor attendance figures with ease as Mils.im can present the data in tables and graphs, generate a PDF attendance sheet and more.

Reservations can be altered or cancelled as and when required by both the Site Operator or the Skirmisher.

Site Operators can contact attendees via pre-paid SMS or via email for free to ensure they are kept up to date with the status of the event.

Mils.im also offers something to Skirmishers too; once a Skirmisher has attended an Event the Site Operator can confirm their attendance and this will be then reflected in their Skirmish Diary.

The Skirmish Diary is a customisable personalised area of Mils.im for each skirmisher where they can display as little or as much information as they wish regarding their contact details and Skirmish activity.

This allows a skirmisher to prove to a retailer or another skirmisher during a face to face sale that they are in fact a skirmisher and the Retailer / seller can view all the raw data and make their own conclusions.

Since the only people that can confirm site attendance are Site Operators (and all site operator accounts are manually vetted) this ensures that the Skirmish diary cannot be abused or used to mislead people.

Signing up for a Mils.im Skirmisher account is easy as the bare minimum required to sign up is an email address and password or you can register and sign in with Facebook connect.

Any site operators who sign up before the end of March will get their site name and events added to the Airbana March & April Google Adwords / Facebook ads rotation.

Mils.im is an Airbana project and free to use for everyone. To ensure the safety of peoples information and login credentials any sensitive information is encrypted via SSL and even stored in the database in an encrypted form.
