use all of your senses. if you have a sense that is not up to par(ie: for me my vision kills me in the woods), buddy up with someone who is good in the area you lack. For my squad i have one guy w/ perfect vision, i have insaine hearing(i've actually gotten ticked off because of the sound of a tiny pocket watch ticking), etc.
the biggest thing about tactics in woodsball is situational awareness. if your squad is defending, you should know all possible routes that the enemy may you to try and flank you, or engage you head on. military tactics work the best in woodsball. making sure that you have strong flanks will help your squad stay on top of the situation, even if the enemy moves in on you from the sides or rear. the men on your flanks will allow the rest of the tem to regroup in better defensive positions for the assault from the other direction.
flanking is your friend
as is the high ground
say no to either,
and you're a dead man.
hehe
use the brush and nautural cover, if you read my ambush story in the stores forum you'll see a perfect example of how not to use natural cover. the enemy tried to come onto a clean open trail through thick undergrowth, giving away their positions and setting themselves up for being ambushed. in this same round the importance of using your senses is clearly exhibited. if i as the squad leader had not taken the 'better safe than sorry" mentality it keeping my team moving slowly so that i could use my ears to listen to what was out of visual range. when i was hearing the other team moving into the trail, everybody else thought we were alone. take charge and do what needs to be done. in other words, be a good sgt.
