Conquest is closed .

[widowmaker]

Hate to say it but im done . Conquest is as of now gone .

[British]

and I was planning on going down there in a few weeks... I'll miss it. loved that field

[Temple]

Why what happend?

[Lone Panther]

Wait what? Is it because you don't want to stay there all saturday or is it because of financial issues?

[Devildog]

I am really sorry to hear the news. I always enjoyed going to the field and seeing everyone. I am gonna miss the running and gunning. Thanks for all the good times Widow and don't be a stranger.

[Caleb Schuster]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just painted my SWAT shield and got 2 AI grenades that I wanted to use there.

[joshua25]

why is it closed i was planning to come in a couple of weeks?????

[Zero]

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I really liked going there...
Out of curiosity, why is it that you are shutting down the field?

[strikers_blade]

Guys, what about just giving them the time to answer?
you all asked the same question a dozen time already....

[Zero]

I know, it's just always sad to see an airsoft place go...especially local ones. I only lived 20 minutes from Conquest.

[widowmaker]

There comes a time when you have to cut your losses and move on . I never thought conquest was going to make me a million dollars but i did think it would pay for itself . Its not .... Im done paying out my own money to keep the place open .
Plus my family wants to do stuff with me and right now i cant because i have to cover the field every weekend . My landlord doesnt want anyone but me to run it because too many rules get broke when im not there . I want to spend time with my wife and kids more then i want to play airsoft .
Airsoft was my hobby . Now its my job . I have to spend most of my weekends babysitting and listening to people ***** . Its not worth it to me anymore .
I hope you all can understand why im walking away .

[Caleb Schuster]

I understand, you have to do what you have to do. It's just sad to see it come to an end.
Well it was fun while it lasted.

[Zero]

Yeah I get it also. I'd do the same if it were me. Thanks for keeping it open as long as you did. It helped me get into airsoft. It was great playing with the people that went. Thanks

This was my and Battlefield's first place we've played and we really enjoyed playing with the great group of people there. Thanks Widow and the rest for a good time.

[joshua25]

though i'd never been there i always heard conquest was great i really am hoping to go to an event close to Buckeye Lake. I think the closest one now is Springfield i am try to get thing going to go.

[seals]

sorry to here it come to an end this way. are you going to ever reopen

[Firefox]

man I really loved playing at conquest, all of the great times i've had there and all of the great people i've met. I will really miss playing there on the weekends.:(

[Mavrick]

Well, sorry to hear that. Its sad to see a field close, its not like there are alot to choose from. To be honest, if i'm involved with hosting an event, i never even count the guys who say "i'm comming with +2 or 3 or 5 or w/e number" they never come and if they do, its only if their mom can give them a ride. Thats why i dont like games that appeal to the younger population, they just arent reliable and dont follow the rules.

Maybe with its absence people will come to appreciate what they took for granted and perhaps you can host games from time to time and pack the place.

[Iron Maiden]

Widow,

Sorry things didn't work out, but you did give it a good strong go of it and you should be proud of that.

Hope to see you out on the fields again soon though.

[airsoft31]

that sucks!!!!

i loved playing there ( by the way Cia man still has your 90rd mag)

[Wraith]

NOOOO!!! We never made it back up there!!! With my baby girl being born and my wife had a very complicated pregnancy, I couldn't go very far from the house. Now that all of those issues are gone, so is Conquest. Well, Widowmaker, I hate to hear you're shutting the doors, but I can understand why. Thanks for giving us a place to play while you could. Maybe you and Puddkiller can make it down to Chillicothe for a game sometime.

[airsoft31]

what els can you do with a warehouse that has cover and about 10000000000bb's everywhere :rolleyes:

[Fox]

Sorry to see it go, a blow to airsoft in Central Ohio.

[Phil]

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Steve.

[dcr1326]

Wow this sux. I was wanting to go to this place. Now i need to take my happy A$$ all the way up to Springfield.

[ghillehead]

right now is a perfect time to open your own airsoft field

[Mayhem]

or open a airsoft store near wooster, LOL

[airsoft31]

someone needs to open a field

[British]

everyone says someone should open a field... but won't it just take the same fate as conquest... I mean everyone was pumped for that, yet it went down hill...

[Sasquatch-L]

Man, Conquest was the only place I've been to. Now I gotta find somewhere else to play, and cause Conquest was the nearest, I doubt Im gonna be able to make an hour trip to and fro every weekend like what i did at conquest. I understand where Widow's coming from though. RIP Conquest.

[Zero]

Kevin, just come with me to Springfield...

[Lone Panther]

If Conquest did nothing else it got me into airsoft and thats more important to me than anything else the place cound have done for me. Thanks Widow, for the opportunity.

i dont mean to sound like im nagging you and i am truly not trying to be offensive in any way.......I was thinking and would suggest, if the building is not being used for anything else and was just sitting there, you could talk to you landlord and maybe try to host a large game every 2 months or so. This way it is far more likely a large amount of people will show up. If you do not have enough rsvp then just cancel the event and no hurt is done. just a suggestion as it might help bring in revenue if you just rented it for one day and charged a little bit for it. This may help your financial situation. If not from what Ive heard, the place seemed to be fun while it lasted

I may be naive and also not know the whole story, but I was thinking the exact same thing. Heck, even Blade and Slayer don't try to host games or have open plays at Springfield or Red Dragon every single weekend. If they did it would probably have the same result. Players like playing with large groups, that's just the reality of this sport.

Widowmaker, can you elaborate on this? Did you guys try having games less frequently?

[strikers_blade]

Torque, I am not hosting every weekend because I would be divorced by now :D
