I'm putting together a paintball game for the guys at work and the boss is bragging about how good he is. I can put together a four-man team that will definitely stick together, all the rest will be scattered (i.e, no real tactics).

I need two or three different types of simple paintball tactics that we can stick to and change up. I've read up about covering fire, suppression and flanking, and was wondering if there are any other tactics relating to paintball that would be useful for a four man team -- for example, two man stick to the left, two to the right and let everyone else go through the middle whilst the four men on each side slowly move forward, covering the guys in the middle. And so on. Just so we can practice, before it starts.

Thanks heaps!

Strategies change in mid game, so you should do whatever you need to do to win...

Walking the field prior to the game and scoping out potential strategic areas would be useful... Like I said, there is no one strategy that will work for all games... You have to adapt to your situation.

Communicate... I mean really communicate. Yell all the time. And make sure you dont say anything that can turn around and kick you in the ass (don't be like "I'm out of ammo!", because they will surely rush you).

Make up a list of 4 or 5 codes to yell out that only your 4 guys know...

I assume your playing in the woods?

One technique that was really developed for speedball but is helpful in all formats is "snap shooting". I'm rather tired right now and don't feel like describing it, I'll edit this post later and describe it or someone else can take a whack at it...
