The next section of the Pre-Game is the gear. A person can not play paintball without the proper equipment. Gear comes in many forms depending on the teams style of play down to how many days they will be camping at the field. This article will focus on personal playing equipment, team playing equipment, personal camping equipment, and team camping equipment.
One aspect often overlooked about the scenario paintball team is what happens before the whistle blows, before you air up, before you get your gear on, even sometimes before you put gas in your truck the day prior to leaving. This is called the Pre-Game.

If you've been reading my tactics and following them you've been starting to gain some recognition at the fields, maybe even gained the fear of your enemies well when you'll reach a certain level, and maybe certain fame, on local tournaments, you'll see that teams in front of you will tend to "defend", i.e. "dig in", find obstacles and wait for you. Good! Exactly what you want: knowing exactly where each of your opponents are, (ten meters away from their station) and that whatever happens, they won't move. Back up a bit, shift some of your players (you can even forget about one side: THEY WON'T MOVE.) and hit where it hurts. Woof. Easy max.
Have one point man watching only the main area in front of your patrol. Then have the second and third player watching through the wooded area to the front and sides while you move up in case of ambush. Have a last player bringing up the rear watching incase the enemy tries to flank from behind.
