5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tactics Pages, December 31, 2004

This review is from: Paintball: The Combat Adventure Sport (Paperback)

I have read this book many times now, admitedly the weaponry section is dated, however Ricahrd Cooke wrote this book in 1992 when paintball was still young in the UK.

The tactics section is very good though and i have used many of these tactics during games to great effect.

the list of sites and suppliers is useful too, amazingly most of them are still running too 12 years on after the book was written. Great writing and would recommend to any one interested in paintballing

Paintball : The Combat Adventure Sport

This was a ok book, It didnt live up to what I thought it would be. When it had the title combat in it like a army paintball book. It is a good book for Begainers. It could of been improved and used more details.
