Retreat Can Be A Good
Strategy
It hurts when the team realizes that it is
time to retreat, but nevertheless there are numerous ways to execute
a successful retreat. Here’s how.
Strategize a plan. The whole team must be ready to go to a safe area
if it is necessary to retreat. Find a place that provides enough
cover to protect yourself. It would be a good idea to move closer to
the assist team members in order to obtain help. The assist units
are usually concealed prior to the start of the game so the opposing
team will not have any idea where the players are heading.
Be a team: work together, run together, and fight together. The best
protection is always team power. Watching each other’s back can save
the whole squad as this helps the team re-engage as soon as they’re
back in a safe area.
Fire back: to free your selves from the enemy, the team must fire in
sync and with great intensity to keep the enemy’s heads down. This
could buy time for you to make a successful retreat. Three to four
seconds of blasting can be good preparation for retreat.
Move with a plan: to repeat, strategize! Retreating does not
necessarily mean rushing to safety. While retreating make certain
that the opposing paintball players are given a hard time. The whole
squad should take turns in returning fire for cover. In the end it
is surprising to see that there were multiple shots fired at the
opposing team while retreating. They may be running after the
retreating team so is it is easy to shoot at enemy when they are in
the open.
While there is still room for control, end the retreat: not when the
whole team can no longer be shot but when there is still a chance to
fight the opponent. It will be harder when the enemies cannot to be
seen because the damage they could inflict is much worse.
The catch! There are special occasions when a team retreats just to
lure the enemies into a trap. By keeping the paintball team together
and drawing back, it might give the opponent the feeling they are
already winning and they might be easier to attack. Once the
assisting unit is behind you, utilize speed and shoot the enemies.
Ah! The winning moment.
Being fired at during a paintball game is not to be used as a reason
to retreat. It could be a good chance to change stations and use the
advantage for better cover. It might be good to retreat in order to
mess up the enemy’s strategies.
