Are paintball strategies important? Answer: If you want to win more often than not, you must plan your strategy before each game.
For example, we just finished up a 5 game set of capture the flag on a friends property. The only two games we lost were games that started without a planned attack and defense. The games we won incorporated several paint-ball strategies.
Lets begin with a couple of intermediate to advanced paintball strategies...
If you are a begginner this page has interesting basic paintball strategies. Otherwise read these paintball tactics...
Study the opposing team. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses gives you an advantage because you can plan paintball tactics that work to your advantage. For example, if you know who the stronger players are you can focus on them at the beggining. Then pick off the weaker players after you eliminate the stronger players.
Or, you can stay away from the stronger players side and work the weaker side.
Paintball Strategies: Your Skillset...
If you want to be part of a team decide on the skillset you bring to the table. For example, if you are a quick player, meaning you can run faster than most you may want to move up to the front of your team.
If you feel that you are not as fast as your teamates anchor the back and support your teamates who are up front. Maybe protect the flag (if you are playing capture the flag or related games.) In our last game I protected the flag beause my knee is recovering from an injury. I found this to be very challenging becasue you have to anticipate where your opposition is going to attack.
If you have an advantage in shooting skill, like shooting to your left or right, volunteer to move up the opposite side of your better shooting side.
