"Wow,
they just mowed us down. There was nothing we could do. It
was a slaughter." I wish I had a dollar for every time I have
heard that statement or something similar coming from paint
covered players in the neutral zone after a game. The truth of
the matter is that yes they did mow you down but there is always
something you can do. If you know the types of engagements
that may occur on the paintball field while you are moving
toward the opponent's base you will be able to overcome and
dominate any situation.

Road Trip to Niagara Tactical Southern Ontario
One evening in May 2006 while traveling some 1200 miles from home on
business, I decided to pay a visit to a local paintball field. Niagara
Tactical Adventure was a short drive from where I was staying
in Niagara Falls and the field, within sight of the QEW, approximately
half way between Hamilton and Niagara Falls in southern Ontario
Canada, seemed like the great place to shoot some paint. I
parked the car donned my Tippmann jersey (I never leave home
without it) and went inside to find someone to play with. Tim
Smith the friendly owner of Niagara Tactical welcomed me like I was
one of his regular players. We hit it off right away and I decided
to have a chat before hitting the field.

Assaulting the Flag: Get the Flag and Win the Game, Every Time
It's the easiest part of a woodsball game, if it's done right

"They had paint raining down on us from every direction. There was no way we could get anywhere near the flag."
Does that sound familiar? It is fun to run around in the woods shooting paint but capturing the flag is the name of the game. I constantly hear people complain about how hard it is to attack the other team's base and capture the flag. Assaulting the flag might very well be the easiest part of a woodsball game, if it's done right. Unfortunately too many players and teams go about the assaulting the flag all wrong.
