Have played at paintball usa. only had a couple of small fields. Most refs and staff here dont even play (in my opinion).
Directions to the Field:
Conquest is ABOVE the close encounters field. Not sure this is good for Conquest as the refs for the bottom field (close encounters) try to get you to sign up there saying that by doing so you can play both fields. This is not true. If you want conquest (and you will) sign up at the top with conquest.
Review:
All I can say about Conquest is Dave Bassman has outdone himself "again". I have followed his fields for longer than I care to admit and everytime he opens a new location he somehow manages to design even better fields. Just ask anyone that has played on many fields and Conquest will always come up. Reffing is outstanding as always (that is what happens when you have seasoned players for refs) most of my experience these days is that fields are just hiring a warm body (sometimes they have never even played the game).
What I have always liked about Conquest is that they almost always have a fair number of seasoned players that are more than happy to coach the new players by giving them pointers on how to play a better game. This is just the type of enviornment that you can expect on any given day here.
As far as the fields go, the trench field is simply amazing. To attempt to describe it is just unfair to this one you must see it to believe it. The haybales field is another one that is simply fantastic. And the other fields play very well also, "The gauntlet, The oil field, The ravine.....
You just cant go wrong at Conquest, just make sure you dont get sucked into registering at the bottom (paintball usa) or you wont get to play on these amazingly designed fields.
See you there, its a long haul for me but this is now my field of choice.
