Defence: Group

Defending as a group is more complex than defending oneself. While each member wants to remain dry while dishing out the water to the group's adversaries, one must take care not to have any members caught up in the crossfire. At other times, sometimes the best types of defence is a good offense.

GENERAL TIPS

  • when in the open field, keep the group moving. A moving target is much more difficult to hit than one standing still.
  • each member should keep an eye on their water level. One cannot attack if one is out of water. When one or more members are running low, it is a good idea for the group to look for a filling station before being caught at less-than-prime condition.
  • look for cover. Groups that are not seen are much harder to soak.
  • carry extra water (if possible). Just in case one runs out of ammo and there are still enemies between one's location and a safe filling station.
  • know the surroundings. It helps to know the battlefield a bit before engaging the enemy. If this is not possible, do scouting runs before any serious engagement with hostile forces.
  • know allies' positions. When travelling or defending an area, if hostiles attack, knowledge of where other members are will allow those who are isolated to quickly locate support while preventing mis-targetting allies during a heated fray.
  • open communication methods between allies. To prevent confusion and co-ordinate proper defence strategies, all members should be aware of the general status of their other teammates. Thus, if one team member is in trouble, others can quickly come to their assistance.
