Editorial Review It can be as playful as a party game, or as dead serious as military training for a coming deployment. But whatever your approach to paintball or Airsoft, there are rules to learn, tactics to master, variations to discover, and equipment to consider. And in every instance, Paintball and Airsoft Battle Tactics has the answers.
The ultimate resource for these sports so popular among weekend warriors and military simulators, this book helps novice players and veterans alike to hone their skills and sharpen their understanding of the art and science of MilSim strategy and tactics.
Written by a military analyst with real-world experience training combatants around the world, this paintball and Airsoft tacticians bible refreshes and refocuses the military simulator, but it doesnt stop there. It also fosters, mentors, and challenges both the apprentice and the maestro with basic individual and leadership skills, team drills, and intermediate patrolling operations, covering all the necessities for waging paintball and Airsoft combat successfully at the small-team level.

- Excellent source of military tactics for laymen
I recently recieved this great book from amazon and it lived up to my expectations. After playing airsoft for a few years now I realized I could use some more team tactics, and this book was perfect in that effect. The layout is good, and the information is accurate.

This book is for hardcore scenario teams ... ONLY. The book claims it will teach both the "novice" and the "maestro," but the novices need not apply.

- Not what I was expecting.

Now don't get me wrong milsim is great and if you like milsim GET THIS BOOK NOW, but if you don't like milsim or don't play milsim (like me) find another book. now if you think you will get into milsim, GET THIS BOOK NOW, but if you wont you pretty much won't get anything out of this book ( maybe a little but nothing you can't get off the Internet). it's a great book for any milsimer but if your not, please don't get... more info
