Ballahack Field is a premier MilSim style field in the Hampton Roads area. The facilities very impressive and have features few other fields in the country have. Because of this they draw many experienced players week after week. The one down side of this of course is that younger or newer players have a tendency to be intimidated or pushed by the way side when it comes to advanced tactics execution and planning. On our rating scale here’s how they flesh out.
OVERALL RATING: a solid B+
2900 Ballahack Rd Chesapeake, VA 23322 http://ballahackairsoft.com/
REVIEWED LAST ON: September 18 2009
Price To Play: B-
It cost $15 play and they do not have rentals at this time. They have BB’s sometimes, they did have some the day we reviewed.
Safety: A
They are very big on safety. If you remove your eye protection in a game or on the field even if it is very fogged up, you will be asked to leave the facility the fields. You, are not allowed to have your magazine, or weapon loaded in any fashion until you cross their “play line”.
Field Size: B+
COMING SOON… But it is very large and diverse. Parking however at the facility can be difficult with the number of players they draw, especially in the rain.
Game Play: B+
They open up at 9am. They have great scenarios for the experienced player or avid Mil-Simmer. They keep the game play going all day long with not to much time in between. However some of their objective based missions can proved extremely challenging to new players. This leaves mean new players being eliminated early in missions and either sitting from the side lines watching, or taking the long dead rag march to the re-spawn point.
Player Base: A-
They have one of the larges player base that plays on a weekly bases. They seem get 50-80+ players each week and they are primarily 18+ years old and have been playing airsoft for sometime.
General Impressions: B
They have a port-o-potty for your bathroom needs. They also have a few power outlets to recharge batteries. They have water you can buy and large sitting/ load out area which has fans. They have a small range to site in your gun, however I do not know what the range is I would estimate it is near 50 feet.
