You have arrived at your game site. You have the paintball supplies you need. You are now ready to begin your paintball adventure!
* Start the game. At this point each team has to come up with a strategy to obtain the other team's Paintball flag and return it to their home base while protecting and defending their own flag.
* 'Fire' at the other team to wound them. Once a player is 'hit' with a paint ball he leaves the field.
* Steal the other team's flag and place it on your home base before the time runs out. If a player is wounded while carrying the flag he must drop the flag where he was and leave the field.
* When you play paintball this way each game that is played will see the players switching home bases.
* Playing an 'Attack-Defend' Paintball Game
One team will attack while the opposing team defends. After this the teams are switched.
The Steps
* Set up a camp or fort to defend. Use a building or a bunker if possible. The defending team should have some sort of advantage.
* Plant a paintball flag in a clearly visible location within the fort or base camp.
* Divide the players into two teams. If there are an uneven number of players the attack team gets the extra members.
* Set the paintball game length and make sure all players know how long it will last and the signals for start and finish.
* Send the attack team away while the defenders make plans for their defense.
* Start play! The attackers have to commandeer the fort or camp, steal the flag and bring it to their starting point. The defense has to stop or delay them until time runs out.
