Shoot the Captain Paintball Game Strategies

"This is Robert Stewart with Hill13.com. Now, we are going to look at the game board and talk about how to be effective in taking out the opposing forces captain while he's tied to a twenty foot tether. Here we've represented in a very simple manner a line connecting one red player and one green player to their base. Now, there's a couple of different way you could play this. You could play very defensively and wait for attrition to do the work for you. By that I mean you could play a very defensive game where your other players basically form a protective barrier around your captain and you wait for the other team to come to you. Within that thirty minute period if this team never shows up then the game might end up being a draw. So, that's a defensive way to play it. The ultra offensive, aggressive way to play it; and again we have three players represented on each side, but it could be three, six, ten or as many players as you have where you can have even teams; is to bum rush the other side, to go straight in and go straight for the captain. Now, to do that it goes back to another game we talked about, charge of the light brigade. Again, if you move your entire force out and leave the captain to defend himself, especially if he's tied to it he's there alone and if they do the same thing he could be put in the same position that you're about to put the captain of the green team into by moving all of your forces over to take him out. In that case it's going to come down to raw speed and aggression probably determining who eliminates whose captain first. But, that's usually the way the game is play and the more players you have the more you can begin to split those two tasks. You can actually maintain a defensive perimeter around your captain and take a force in to eliminate the opposing forces captain."
