5.0 out of 5 stars I love running thru the woods shooting people!, November 25, 2007

By	R. Liebespach "RickLiebespach" (Valrico, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book (Advanced Scenario Paintball), does an excellent job communicating what it sets out to communicating.
I have been playing paintball for 20 months now. Mostly I play twice each month... sometimes 3 times in a month. Also I am a part of the Warriors For Christ paintball team. Even though my teammates have spoken well of my abilities, and confidently play along side of me, I realized that something in my skills was lacking. This book has shown me one of the major lackings in my game... understanding and working within the organizational hierarchy of scenario paintball. As a result, I will add this awareness and functionality, to my play. I won't abandon the skills and passion I've acquired and used so affectively, but rather I will add this new tool to my sides arsenal.

4.0 out of 5 stars good tactics, August 25, 2008

Good tactics in regards of team formation. Not so good in field tactics. Easy to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Advanced" is a bit of a misnomer, but otherwise solid, August 12, 2008

By	Jonathan Mettin (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

As someone else already said, I wouldn't call this book "advanced." This book is good for the intermediate player, the guy who's played for a little bit but is looking to step up his game, maybe join a team and go play a scenario event.

The book gives a short description of several team roles (Point man, sniper, scout, etc.), different terrains and conditions for paintball scenarios (Urban, night, winter, etc.) and tips and tactics for how to deal with them, a short section on tanks, a fun little chapter calls "Tips and Tricks" that has several entertaining ideas I'm trying over the next few games, and finally a list of some new game ideas, each of them with optional variations. There is also a list of helpful websites at the end.

The book seemed very short to me - it clocks in at 130 pages, but there's about 15 pages before you actually get to the body of the book and another 10 at the end that's simply listing websites and other books. Add that into the rather large type and the fairly regular use of large pictures, and you have maybe 60 pages of actual info.

That's not to say the book's bad at all - I got some good info out of it. But as far as depth and info I didn't already know, I found it somewhat lacking. If you're a beginner, I'd go for "The Complete Guide to Paintball, 4th Edition." www.specialopspaintball.com has more useful and more in-depth woodsball info posted for free on its site. This book is good filler, but by no means comprehensive - use it to round out your paintball book collection.
