Fort Magsaysay is Now Closed

As of Sunday, 31st May 2009, Band of Brothers Ltd. has closed the Fort Magsaysay Airsoft Gamesite. The game field remains "as is, where is" and may be used by other groups but Band of Brothers is no longer connected with it after the caretakers offered the site to another group. Band of Brothers Ltd. will continue to be part of the airsoft community but for the meantime will be busy with other projects.

Fort Magsaysay Airsoft Gamesite commenced operation in the first week of March 2008 and lasted for 14 months. During that time, Band of Brothers constructed three main forts and bunkers (USA, Philippines, and Iraq), as well as minor strongpoints ("Kubo," "Sari-Sari Store," "Banana Republic") using materials bought, transported, and constructed ourselves every week.

Thus when the caretakers of the property advised Band of Brothers that another group had been accepted as the renters and operators of the field, Band of Brothers had no choice but to dismantle the bunkers and barricades in order to let the new group have the freedom to construct their own game site layout and structures as they wanted. The materials were left on the site if the caretakers or the new group wanted to use them.

Message of Thanks

Band of Brothers would like to thank all airsoft players and the visiting public who patronized Fort Magsaysay Airsoft Gamesite throughout 2008 and the first half of 2009. We appreciate the various airsoft teams and individual players who played in and supported the games conducted by Band of Brothers at the field. We remember the great games played in both dry and wet conditions at this field and we hope our future games and events will be as memorable.
