About Us

SCOTLAND’S HOME OF CQ-PEW

Welcome to Very, Very Close Quarter Battle!

The Depot was set up in 2013 by a team of experienced site operators with the aim of bringing large scale CQB to Scotland for the first time.

With vast experience in running outdoor sites, and continually going on big road trips to play CQB where we could, the opportunity to run games throughout a massive complex locally was just too hard to resist!

Our Second Home

From 2013 to 2020 we ran in our original site in Castlemilk until a change of landlord ended that adventure.  We went back on the hunt for a new home and in 2021 we opened here in Port Glasgow.

Our Philosophy

It might sound silly, but we love playing the game, and we work on delivering what we know works and what we enjoy.  Furious, competitive games that test your reflexes, nerves, team-work and will to win!

Firm but fair

We believe rules need to enforce fairness and maintain safety.  Our marshalls step in when necessary, explaining what’s wrong and how to get it right so you can focus on having fun.

Smiles for miles

The measure of our success is the wideness of your smile at the end of the day.   We’ve built and aim to maintain our reputation by keeping the winning formula going.

Important details for first time visitors

You need to pre-book

No walk on’s here – not because we’re evil but because we need to balance numbers or games don’t work.  The quality of experience matters to us so find out how to plan your visit.

We have age limits

CQB is more intense than woodland because of the engagement distances.  We’ve got age specific rules that apply to those under 18 so make sure to understand them before you book.

Our rules are different

Expecting this to be just the same as any old woodland site would be a mistake.  When average contact distances of 50m are reduced to millimetres the rules need to adjust accordingly.

There’s more to know

We regularly update the website but quite a lot of our updates happen on Facebook.  Special events, Photos, Videos, Volunteering Opportunities and important updates get posted here so check it out!
