Paintball Advance and Ambush Training
This was one of the best turn outs we have had in the south so far. Because of the recent media many of our own friends and less active members have started coming more often along with new people who joined through the internet. This made for a much more event full day, with lots of people making the games longer and more intense.
We did two main training scenarios:
The First was to get everyone working in units and learn the hand signals needed for quite communications. We also did training in the fast covered attack. This wasn’t because we think it’s a good idea, or for the practice of running at a covered position, it was simply to get the hang of working in a few teams on the same field. It worked out very well. (See video feed)
The other Training was to learn to patrol and avoid ambush. This was also a very good learning event, as at the last moment when we thought we had taken out the ambush team their last member appeared from behind us and shot us all. Showing how valuable it is to have the guy keeping watch at the rear. Our rear guy had been shot earlier and we didn’t replace him.
The last game was to practice two patrols advancing against each other. However it turned into a series of ambushes. When a few of us had been shot and went to the reload area, we decided to make a new team and go back to the battle and attack both teams to make things more interesting. Showing that you never know what could happen in a survival type situation in combat.
