Types of Paintball : "WOODSBALL"

There are two types of paintball that are now playing around the world. One is called “Woodsball” and another is “Speedball”. Today I'll talk about Woodsball.



The Woodsball is a scenario game. Mostly they are played in forest or place that related to the mission that they make up. The mission information may say that there is a group of terrorists planning to bomb somewhere in Thailand and now they are hiding at Khao keaw. Our duty is to get rid of those terrorists. So as we see the information, if we have 150 players we may separate them into groups of 50 and call them Delta Force, Marine Corps and the terrorist. After that they will have to choose a person to be the commander of their group. The commander will tell what others need to do. The players will pretend to be Delta Force, Marine Corps or what ever their group named.


Usually the Woodsball mission will took around two hours to finish the game but some may took two or three days because they may have 500 players in an area of two or three whole hill. Well, that much will be the game in America or somewhere else that is not Thailand. Thai’s game is much smaller but we have three to four missions to do so it took about two days to finish the game. The reason that we have many missions is because paintball in Thailand cost a lot and that makes it not popular enough to have much player as in America. Less people use less time and less time is not enough for fun, so we need to have many missions to take more times to make it enough for players here.

My head is empty now. If there's anything more about Woodsball I'll post it next time but if there's nothing more about it I may post about Speedball.
