Defence: Individual

The object of water warfare is to dispense as much water to soak one's opponents while remaining as dry as possible. The techniques discussed in this section are intended for use by an individual to remain as dry during heated water battles. However, while most of the following ideas are also applicable to group defence, there are some differences which should be noted. Those differences will be discussed in more detail in the Group Defence section.

GENERAL TIPS

  • when in the open field, keep moving. A moving target is much more difficult to hit than one standing still.
  • know your water level. One cannot attack if one is out of water. When running low, it is a good idea to look for a filling station before being caught defenseless.
  • look for cover. One who is not seen is much harder to hit.
  • travel with at least one partner, but not too many. With one partner, each can cover the other's back. Too many people and one cannot sneak up on the enemy (plus one may get caught in the crossfire).
  • carry a sidearm (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.
  • firing at a 45 degree angle. Firing at a 45-degree angle upwards gives the most distance but not always the most accuracy (especially if its windy).
