It was...intense. The Greek demigods aren't exactly known for cohesive battle strategies, except for Athena's Cabin and sometimes Ares. But usually you never knew what might happen when different cabins combined into different teams for a game.

[Athena and Ares were usually taking different sides to try out different strategies. But very few plans could survive cabins like Hermes or Hephaestus.]

We had a pretty big arsenal. Usually swords and spears are the most common...but I guess it depended on what you felt best with and what you had on hand. Hephaestus' cabin was known for laying all kinds of pit traps and trip wires through the woods. Apollo's cabin was more prone to long range weapons like bows and arrows.

[Jason crosses his arms, looking thoughtful.]

Of course, that was just the Camp Half-Blood version. Camp Jupiter had its own version of the game, but it's less about capturing flags and more about taking down an entire fort. We called it Siege, with one group acting as the fort's defense and the other group would be the offense. Camp Jupiter was always more prepared for war than our counterparts. We have a whole arsenal fit for a legion and everything from water cannons to an actual war elephant.
