The game itself requires responsiveness and situational awareness as you have multiple players in the same field. and having a skirmish against groups. Many were so decorative they didn’t want to be destroyed by the artists. It was a way to learn their family crest as well.

Toth won an Xbox system with a customized casing airbrushed with the Air Force Logo.
