Customer Review: For Beginners Only
This book seems more appropriate for beginners than for veterans. Its shallow overview of the sport of woodsball presents little useful information. Unless you are from the inner city and have never been in the woods, you should probably not buy this book.

For those new to the sport of paintball, everything in "Scenario Paintball: Tips and Tactics..." can be learned in 15 minutes by talking to someone who has paintballed before, [...]

If you are not a beginner, you already know everything Grubish presents. The tactics he offers are very rudimentary (e.g. Wedge, Hammer and Anvil), and statements like "a mask is worn to protect your face and eyes" aren't helpful. Additionally, the author's tone is somewhat patronizing and at times very unprofessional.

One novel part of this book that I did appreciate was Grubish suggestions for scenarios. However, these again seemed geared towards someone with no experience or intelligence. Anyone who has ever played a FPS or watched a war movie could easily come up with scenarios like "Capture the Bridge" on their own. This section is not enough to save the book from being shallow.

In short, there are better sources of information than this book. A friend, a local vendor, an army Field Manual, anything. Grubish will not tell you anything you don't already know.
Customer Review: Beyond capture the flag...
This is a must own book for players just getting started AND veterans of the sport. The scenario chapter provides a ton of fun alternatives to "Capture the flag".
