The field layout is well-designed, featuring a mix of forested sections, embankments with trenches, CQB areas, and open spaces. While the field has recently undergone renovations, adverse weather prevented us from fully utilizing it, and the second floors of the buildings were off-limits due to rain.
The safety area is well-equipped, with plenty of tables, power outlets, a food truck, restrooms, and a large shop that sells essential gear, airsoft guns, and accessories.
The staff were generally friendly, but they enforce a strict strike system for rule violations. The rules are rigid, and players can have their guns confiscated for seemingly minor infractions, with little clear explanation of what went wrong.
The monthly "Super Athena" event advertised new game modes and prizes, including airsoft gear and guns. However, on the day of the event, the prizes turned out to be mostly snacks, with the top prize being a Christmas tree. They also held a phone lottery for attendees, but out of the 22 AOJ members present, only one person received a call—and even he missed out on winning due to not picking up. Sorry, Josh!
Overall, while the experience was enjoyable, the event itself was underwhelming. If they had offered a greater variety of game modes, rather than just repeating flag capture and a single medic game throughout the day, it could have been a much more memorable experience.
