Game scenarios include:

CASTLE GAME

This is our newest game that is proving very popular. Capture and defend our large purpose built castle. Pure class!!


SPEEDBALE ARENA

If it's fast adrenaline pumping action you want then try speedballing. It's fast and furious and not for the feint hearted. Speedball certainly lives up to it's name with a typical game lasting just 5-10 minutes. Speedball is one of the two distinct game variants in the sport of paintball, the other being woodsball. It is a general term for a game in which the playing field is composed of bunkers, of the same location and number on each side of the field, that provide an equal playing field for each team competing. It was created in this way to give a better format for competitive paintball, both in playing and viewing the games.


VILLAGE

Purpose built urban village area that great for a whole host of different and uniquely exciting games. You have the Vietnamese huts in this superb compound style arrangement of buildings complete with sneaky look-out towers for the snipers out there!


BLAST BUNKER FIELD

Original real life bunkers left here on site by the U.S Air-force! You and your team must capture your opponents blast shelter using the barricades for cover. This means that they are occupying and defending an impenetrable position. There is a way in but only one - its up to you to find out and save your fellow team mates from certain slaughter on the field of valour!




APC FIELD (MARINE ASSAULT)

Using the aliens style APC as your base, you have to "land" in a hostile area and resupply your troops. Your troops incidentally are being attached from all fronts by the enemy. Rather you than me!


TOURNAMENT FIELDS

Large mixed woodland area to play the original paintball game – capture the flag. Paintball tournaments are also played on these diverse terrain fields by professional players that come to compete at our paintball venue on designated tournament dates. Don't worry, tournaments do not interfere with the paintball fun days or corporate events, although we do use these professional game zones on days when tournaments aren't in progress.


TARGET PRACTICE

Sounds easy, shoot the targets against the clock, but other players are shooting at you too! It's a kind of initiation into the world of paintball... don't get hit - or your chance of winning is over!


Knowing your moves and forming a game plan

  1. Scope out the field - Before the game take a look around for good angles good cover and good places to move to.
  2. Plan ahead - One of the best paintball tactic is to have a plan for every one ahead of time.

  3. Lanes - On the break if you are a back player shoot your lanes. More happens in the first 10 seconds of a speedball game than the last 4 min. For a guide on lane shooting click here.

  4. Communication - Once on the field yell out opponents positions, coordinate movements, make sure you have cover before moving etc.

  5. Crossfires - It is usually a good idea for the far right and far left players to advance together and as fast as possible. This sets up nasty crossfires and allows the team to get multiple angles on all the opponents players forcing them to play tighter and giving them less room for error.

  6. Movement - Make sure that when you move your not going to get lit up. Make sure you know where your going, keep low and slide into your positions.

  7. Real estate - This is very important gaining ground as a team puts the other team at a disadvantage, it forces them to play tighter and limits there movement options. Getting the entire team up the field is an essential paintball tactic.

  8. Snake - The snake is a power position if you monopolize it. It allows you to get behind enemy cover without compromising your cover. This goes the opposite way too, if the enemy gets some one in the snake you have to flush him out as soon as possible.

  9. Bunkering - Bunkering is a powerful technique but you will look like a retard if you do it at the wrong time. Make sure the coast is clear, don't get shot on the run over. Try and predict what side your opponent is facing, get behind him, this avoids him tagging you out on your way by.

  10. Fair play - Cheaters loose friends really fast. A game is only defined by its rules. Get a rep on the field for being honest, people will appreciate you more. Top 10 paintball tactics

In woodsball, obviously you want to avoid any flashy or bright clothing. But, did you know that a flight suit is comfortable and just drab enough in color to blend into almost any environment? A ghillie suit may also prove to be quite helpful in masking your location, even if your enemy is right next to you. But, ghillie suits can be too warm in some climates. Both a flight suit and a ghillie suit can be found at your local army surplus store or in a myriad of online stores. This can be expensive for a woodsball paintball game, but you could also don one of the traditional varieties of camouflage. Remember that the key is not just what you are wearing, but where you hide, how you blend, and how you move.
