Not much else can be said, but wow! This place is really neat, the Ref's are players, really, they are in the foxholes next to you, throwing paint and running missions. Speaking of missions, it takes a while to get going in the morning, this place is straight up mil-sim, but once it starts, be ready to work. Rounds last between 45 minutes to 1 hour and a half.
Riding the food truck is not the ideal way to get your meal, the trip is to the gas station back on Rt. 30. However, the Dominick's there serves footlong subs for $5! I recommend bringing food, unless you don't mind the wait, and someone leaves a bit early to drive to a better location for food.
After lunch there are 3 more games, one is pretty anti-climatical, and can be missed if you are eating, or chasing lunch like Screech and I, but the second, is one of the most awesome attack and defend games I have seen. Trenches that are 8 feet deep add to the fun! Multi level parapets in the base make for some great siege defense. And the third game after lunch, and last game of the day, was a standard capture the flag, but the terrain, and close quarters led to some great firefights.
The staff at New Kent were great, they all were interested in ATA, and were genuinely interested in when we could return. All were avid paintballers, and knew the terrain and games/rules very well. Safety was well observed, and the honor system was used at the chrono. Another great thing about this field was that it has paint, but you could bring your own, as long as it was not pink or white. Easy enough to avoid, and cheap enough to want to return to.
