Building Your Scenario Team
Building your Scenario Team means finding a large group of people that are willing to work towards a greater good. It means having strong generals that are able to come up with the right game plans for his men to succeed, and role players and grunts that respect their leaders and follow orders. While tournament matches, speedball, and recreational paintball games often last between 20-45 minutes, scenario games can last up to 3 or more days, and have more than 100 players on each side. Scenario games and the big game require many executive officers, generals, and role players to work as one, and to maintain a consistent level of communication between everyone involved. Here are a list of some of the high profile leaders, and loyal role players that will make up your scenario team.
The Game. While there are many players involved in these games, there is usually one general. The general is at the top of the commanding structure, he comes up with the game plan and oversees the whole operation to make sure that all orders are executed to perfection. The general gives his orders to the Executive Officer (XO) and to the platoon and squad leaders. While all generals are given the burden of giving orders that will put players in harms way, the general must not ask any players to do something that they would not be able to do. Though the general is not usually on the front lines with his men, he should demonstrate confidence to all those in front of him, and he should lead by example.
The Executive Officer (XO). The Executive Officer is the second in command, and he works directly with the Platoon and Squad Leaders to implement the game plan at the General. The job of the Executive Officer is to assist the General with the running of the team, and to take over the command of the scenario team if the general is eliminated.
Platoon and Squad Leaders. The squad leaders and platoon leaders take their orders from the general and XO, and lead the role players and grunt into battle. The squad leaders attempt to lead their men into action and accomplish the objectives according to the game plan of the general. If a mission is accomplished, they are responsible for providing the necessary proof of competition to the headquarters.
Role Players. Role players do not take their orders directly from the generals, or the executive officer. Role players play a unique character that have their objectives to accomplish that are independent of the goals of either of the two generals on the field. Role players may assist or impede a team's ability to accomplish a certain objective. The objectives of the role player are provided by the game director. The game director will also provide the role player with a uniform/props or special weapon that will make them a unique character on the paintball field.
Grunts. The grunts are the soldiers on the field. They are the ones that put themselves in harms way, and their job is to be loyal to the XO and General, and do exactly as they say. Most players in a scenario game are grunts.
As Scenario Teams have their own unique names and roles, the equipment needed for scenario games is also unique, compared to games like speedball. One cool scenario games prop is the Pod Rocket Grenades from Atomic Ordnance. When building your scenario team, you will want to have Pod Rocket Grenades to stun the enemy and win the match.
