As said before this book isn't what I would call "advanced". However, if you are new to paintball it is a great way for you to build a foudation for advanced play later on. I have been playing for over 6 yrs and upon my entry to the military have further advanced my skills that I use in paintball. This book does give great tips on how to set up your teams and how to pick your role on your team. Again not what I would call advanced but a great read for the newcomers to the sport. I myself didnt take very much from it, but to really be an advanced player you have to master the fundamentals of the sport and without that no amount of reading will make you an advanced player. But this is an all around good book no complaints about it, though another book that I thought did a better job was "Paintball Warrior Tactics"

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

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.

I immediately found several great ideas to make our team better. Individuals and team members can benefit from this book. Overall excellent, even though I found the types of scenario games interesting, as a team leader, I usually don't have the clout to select the content of a scenario game. Hopefully every field owner, and scenario event planner reads these as they contain a fountain of great ideas. This is the author's followup book and has more nuts and bolts scenario techniques that add to the knowledge base. You as an individual sniper, and your team as a group will benefit much from reading this book. It is required reading for my team.

Gives you some ideas about complex scenarios, but does not provide a lot of specific information. Not recommended.

I bought this as a gift for a 20 year-old male who is hard to buy for. One of his only hobbies is going to paintball tournaments. He loved the book and read it immediately. (And he is not really one that you normally see reading a book!)

This book was good. However, I do not think it should have been called *ADVANCED*. iT was fairly basic but is good for more intermediate players, who don't have a baunch of experience. But I was finally glad to see a good Woodsball book. Even if you are experienced, you may pick up 1 or 2 things, and it will be enjoyable to you even though you are not learning a whole lot. I like dthis one and the first one, and highly recommend them for anyone.

Have your buddies give you a couple of bucks each and order this book!
The guys I play with all chipped in to get this.
Our games went form fun to Incredible!
No new equipment to buy, No difficult and tiring stuff to remember.
The information in this is exactly what we have been looking for!
A+

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.
