Okay this is just a fun little thread to see what you whould do in this situation. This is just my attempt to find out how other A5OG members think in the field.

The Situation: You are out in an open field with your squad. You have your A-5 with you, your team all have rentals. You suddenly take fire from a building. 60-70m (180-210 feet) away. There are about 2 or three players in the building. They are newish player you can tell by the fact the opened fire so soon but their ball are close. There is some cover between you and the building but not much.....
What do you do (choose answer that fits you best from poll)

If I was the one with the best marker I would probably pin them down and let my squad go in and take them out. But I would do so by moving forward and finding cover at the same time.

Well if I'm fighting w/ a Team that has rentals they are all new.
I wouldn't place my entire trust on the new to enter a building and complete an assault, I love to fight in close and stare my oppenent eyeball to eyeball.
I would perform some sort of combo between these.

Keep em pinned while squad takes them out!
Try to flank them by going around, squad covers.
Get close, then Mercy them.

Keep them pinned down while my squad moves up and gets into a close and covered position.
Once in postion they supress for me so I can get to them.
Once to them lead an assualt to get in close and stamp them out...I dont do the mercy thing though....no quarter!

.. Well you gonna vote for one?
You see there are hundreds of combos/tactics you can use, so I had to be pretty limited and give general choices!

I voted to try and flank them with suppressive fire, but I agree that there are a number combos you could try. I also think that most of those moves can begin with a flanking maneuver.

a bad day paintballing is beter than a good day at work!!!!

I'd have to say that the best move is to seek immediate cover, and then play the role of "heavy", whilst sending in your team to make the kills...

Of course, it's not guaranteed that your "rental" players are n00bs, some might their own guns, but weren't planning on playing that day, or down for maintenance, etc...

And if they are n00bs, then giving them the chance to flank and make a kill is a serious ego boost... Could be a great way to make sure that your team has fun.

I'd like to think that Paintball has less to do with ensuring victory, and more to do with making sure people have fun.

That said, I'm already starting to look at tactics on the paintball field, and the chance of getting a consistent team together is looking good.

Well if you are going to be so mean about it:
My vote would be get in close becouse all the other Tactics I posted have the end goal of getting in close and personal for some good gun-fighting.
I really didn't like to pick one becouse Tactics are fluid movements to an ever changing situation you can't be confined to just a standard move.


An entire team of people who all have gun problems, or all just randomly show up enforce w/out thier gear still won't be someone I am going to put all my trust in getting things done.
If the rest were new and some happen to be expirenced just not have thier gear then they are an amalgamation of shooters who do not work together consisntently and don't get my vote of confidence to organize and execute together w/out problems.

They would absolutely get to assault, they would be sent on thier own intiatlly and then take up positions to return the favaor I gave them of cover fire to move up...we would attack together.
I may formulate the assault but it would be them I would let feel good about the victory...which is always an ego boost.

You are right paintball is about fun, but it sure is funner when you walk off the field the victor and not the vanquished.

Just remember that I tried to be as general as posible. Ur all overthinking lol!

I would immediately cite "Branigan's Law" and send waves and waves of my own men at them until they run out of paintballs.

If I could hit that bull's-eye, the rest of the dominoes would fall like a house of cards...Checkmate.
