I have some welts and bruises I'm proud to show off from playing paintball yesterday. It was a blast! Eight of us guys played for a few hours in a large wooded area on one of the guy's property. It was probably the size of four or five football fields put together, with clear borders and some open trails running through it. (The woods are to the left of the road in 2 of the pics below, opposite the cornfield. Sorry I didn't get some better pics -- I couldn't really take 'em while getting shot at!) In addition to all of the trees, bushes, and such, they have a fort, some lookouts, and a number of nice obstacles (including the back end of an old truck). It's really a great area for paintball.
I started out playing rather conservatively, taking the strategic and p atient approach, but it's just more fun to be more aggressive. It makes for a more engaged and fast-paced game that I think tends to be much more fun. Of course, a faster game means you can fit more games in, increasing the chances to shoot and get shot...which means more battle wounds, but more chances for victory! We mostly played four on four, but for one game we pitted the best three players against the other five. The three decided to take the aggressive approach and storm the others. It was great! And from there on the battles were more aggressive and fast paced. We had a ball, and I'm ready to play again!
