Scenario Paintball
Scenario Paintball is a new specialized division of paintball games where the playing fields and game conditions are simulated to look like historic places, historic settings or historic events. These settings can simulate D-Day conditions such as the beach, landing crafts, and German fortifications on the land. Scenario Paintball often simulates historic battles like the American War of Independence, The Battle of the Bulge, and the Battle of Gettysburg. These battles may be simple in setting, props and uniform, or be quite detailed indeed. Scenario war games with war and battle themes may include paintball tanks, trenches, paint grenades, paint mines, helicopters, and booby traps. Some scenario paintball games even have World War I and World War II contests with trenches to simulate trench warfare conditions.
For many players scenario paintball offers the game in its truest form, with wide open fields, natural obstacles, and the battle fantasy. Just like when you were a kid playing cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians, scenario paintball offers the fantasy of being a soldier, or a navy seal, sniper, or a Wild West cowboy. And while tournament play has fixed dimensions and fenced in boundaries, scenario paintball offers wide open fields, natural playing conditions, and long games that can take up to 5-25 hours.
There are a number of other differences between scenario paintball games and traditional style games and tournament play. One major difference between traditional games and scenario paintball is the selection of weapons and ammo used in the games. In most tournaments the primary and only weapon is the paintgun. With a paintball gun you have a machine that shoots paint pellets in a straight line for between 100-180 feet before curving down and crashing to earth. In this type of game, your opponent must be in y our line of sight in order to make a direct hit. In scenario paintball, on the other hand, there are many new elimination toys such as the paint grenade, paint mines, or other booby traps that add a 3 dimensional element to the game.
There are a number of additional elements to scenario games not observed in traditional capture the flag games. One would be the number of players involved in games like D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, or the Civil War. These types of games can be a day long, and have over 100 players. These types of games are designed to simulate military operations coordinating large numbers of troops over a large field of battle. The games even simulate soldier chains of command and command posts where base of operations decide on game strategy. A leader at the command post gives orders to generals on the playing field, and the general must execute these orders and lead his men on the field of battle.
While victory in traditional paintball games often means capturing the flag or eliminating all of the players, a win in scenario paintball means completion of the mission. The nature of a successful mission can vary from game to game. In most traditional paintball games, an elimination means that you are out for the game and cannot came back. In this new style an elimination means you are usually out of the game for 10-30 minutes before you can come back.
