From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This came from the main Woodsball strategy article, of which I am essentially the only author. If anyone feels it should be included, go ahead, but I myself don't think it's necessary at the moment. This note was written at 20:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC), by Maximilli.

Illustration scenarios[edit]

This article utilizes an 'ideal scenario' and a 'possible scenario' to provide a contrast through the comparison of which one may attain a more complete understanding of woodsball strategy than that provided in simple explanations.

Ideal scenario[edit]

Idealized woodsball is played in a woodland setting during mid-summer. The weather is very important. In this example, the air is still, cloud covering is minimal, the sun is shining brightly, and the forest floor is well lit. The temperature is assumed to be in the range of about seventy degrees Fahrenheit, or about twenty degrees Celsius. The wind is blowing around ten miles per hour, or about sixteen kilometers per hour, from the north.

With such variables fulfilled, the shape and run of the field itself becomes the next issue of consideration. It should be noted that the variables defined in the previous paragraph are issues of separate interest from the actual layout of the field, because those issues are on the whole more relevant to each player's individual situations, while the shape and run of the field are a set of variables that pertain more to the team's situation itself.

The ideal woodsball field has varying topography, usually in the form of small hills, ridges, et cetera. Water, especially small fordable streams, is common. continue

Possible scenario[edit]

The possible scenario given in this example would generally be called 'poor weather' by most people. Overcast skies, fog, drizzling, and no significant wind are several factors. continue

Scenario comparison[edit]

The two scenarios are similar in a couple of counts. continue
