You will need to take their team by surprise as they should not be expecting you surprise assault due to the work done by your suppression team.

You should also remember that when you move as a group that it is extremely important to have a team tactic in place. It can be easy for even a single opposing player to eliminate a group of your players if they are in the open, tightly grouped together and not using basic cover techniques.

Make sure that when you move on the paintball field that there is a player covering you at all times, so one moves forward then takes cover which then allows you to move and also take cover and then the process repeats itself. The covering technique ensures that at any one time there is always somebody ready to engage the enemy and that you are not caught napping on the field.
