paintball

went to play paintball today afternoon, with other guys of the chem engg dept.
paintball is fun - the gun uses compressed air to shoot the paintball (small gel-caps with water-soluble paint in them) upto more than 60 ft and they go pretty fast. it doesn't really hurt a lot when you get hit, maybe it just stings a bit and leaves a small splatter of paint on your clothes.

we were about 20 people in all. we played about 5 different scenarios: firing in a battle-field terrain and firing in the woods (aim is to eliminate the enemy and reach their base), grab the flag (the first team to get the flag kept in the middle neutral area and return to base), defend the fort (where some 5 defenders have to defend the fort against some 10 attackers, they need to hold the fort for like 10 min) and the best one was where there were 2 separate bunkers and the aim was to defend your flag and try to get the enemy flag and return to your bunker.

you are out of the game once you get hit. you need to have some plan on how to go about achieving your target. you have to be aware of the enemy positions and also try to sneak up on them. you also have cool stuff like providing cover for your teammates as they try to move from cover to cover.
