Building Better MILSIMs With Worst Case Ontario and Andrew Mitchell

Send us Fan MailThe snow is still chest-high up north, but the calendars are out, the contracts are written, and the props are being built. We brought back Andrew Mitchell of Worst Case Ontario to share how a small, scattered crew runs big-feeling MILSIMs that actually flow—tight planning, clear roles, and rules that sharpen play instead of clogging it.We talk through the backbone of their events: in-person design sessions for missions and rules, daily comms to keep momentum, and defined owners for sponsors, tech, and timelines. Then we get into the fun stuff. This season they’re capping medics across an entire side, encouraging quiet “hit” behavior to boost immersion, and limiting each team to a single drone operator with time-boxed flights and counters. The goal is fewer sky-cams and more decisions that matter on the ground. NPCs return with purpose, too—think a DMV clerk who controls your vehicle plates and a hardware storekeeper ready to defend his turf—plus mission props that players can lift, haul, and swear about, from rice sacks to a scratch-built “artillery” piece that booms without risking safety.If you’re new or bringing friends, Big Igloo is the perfect on-ramp: all-day teams, a lunch break, simple objectives, and an easygoing vibe that cuts the intimidation of nods and armored rigs. It’s also a smart place to test your kit for longer tempos and find your limits before the larger MILSIMs hit. And the community piece runs deep—Worst Case has delivered over 7,000 pounds of food to local banks, with plans to add new sock donations this year. Sponsors get involved not just with gear but with prizes that amplify giving, proving that strong events and strong communities grow together.Ready to rethink your rule set, refresh your mission design, or bring more people into the sport without losing the edge?
