The BATTERY - Grand Opening PHOTOS!

PHOTOS are ready to view - October 21st/22nd!

A SPECIAL "Thank You" to everyone who Played the Opening Weekend!

After Months of clearing and weeks of building, several setbacks, tons of materials, paint, screws, and hard work - we opened the Site for all to enjoy.
Obviously, like any project (restricted by time & budget) there is still plenty to do and add to make the Site the best it can be.
I went over budget by several thousands within 2 weeks of building!
Everything is SO expensive! My Credit Card Company is very happy with me at the moment
The Site was full of metal conveyor belts that spanned each side of all buildings, over 100m in length! All outdoor areas were overgrown with high stinging nettles and there was a LOT of hard work needed jut to get the Site "empty" for us to build.
The Reception, Shop, Safe Zone and Shooting Range didn't exist and had to be built from scratch and made SAFE.
Tonnes of Plywood, planks and Paint transformed the empty areas into usable and nice looking range and Safe Area with Tables.

Feedback;
Some players loved the Site, others found it lacking.
We advertised the Site as a CQB Site due to the fact it does have "Close Quater" elements. However, after receiving some very welcome feedback, we have changed the description to "Indoor Site" as not not let down anyone expecting a more dedicated CQB experience.
Having said that, we plan on adding a LOT more high defences, a few Meters apart, which will create a more intense CQB experience.
The whole Game area itself, although very playable will be upgraded to cover off "angles" that gave players inside dark areas an advantage over those who were moving through open areas. Easy to fix, only highlighted during gameplay.
Choke points, player numbers, respawn areas, lighting, cover and much more has been highlighted for change and improvement.
We REALLY cannot thank you all enough for playing and letting us know your thoughts!

I would like to thank the very kind and helpful people who came up in their free time to help build and tidy the Site - legends!
I would also like to thank the local community and neighbours who have made us feel welcome from the start.

It is EASY to criticize and poke holes in any new Airsoft Site, regardless of time or money spent but thankfully, even the negative feedback has been delivered in a friendly and supportive way and we are dedicated to make changes so the Site is the best it can be & reach it's potential.
We cannot please everyone, however, most feedback was very positive indeed!
Thank you all once again!
See you soon!?
