Hello Airsofters I’m Nehemiah Varnell and I am going to be talking about my untested strategy for Capture the Flag at Airsoft Tactical. So I have a strategy for bottom and top base. For this strategy I am going to assume you know the field layout of Airsoft Tactical. I’m also going to assume you have 8 people on your team (including you) for this strategy.

So I’m going to start with the strategy for bottom team. So you’ll need to divide your team into three groups, 1 defending group and 2 attacking groups. You will need to be in one of these groups. You’ll need at least 2 players in the defending group and of course their job is to defend the flag until the other flag is delivered. Then there needs to be an even amount of players in each attacking group (for 8 players you will need 3 players in each group). So group A will be the capturing group and will need to move fast as they have more ground to cover. Then group B will be the delivering group. But onto the strategy, when the game starts group A and the defending group will move together toward the bottom team flag. But the defending group will split from group A when they get past the tank and go to the flag. 

Group A will continue up the ramp and turn left and go up the stairs into the killhouse. But when they get to a position where they can shoot up the ramp they will start firing if anyone is there as they keep running. They will do this until they enter the killhouse. If anyone is shot while they are mowing up then they will respawn and meet with group A at the top team’s flag. If a member of any group is shot the group keeps moving. But once group A gets into the killhouse they will move quickly to the back staircase and go down it. Be careful but go quickly. Once group A makes it down the stairs they will clear the top courtyard as they go through it. They will go out the first exit on the left and grab the flag. 

This is where group B comes into play. Group B should have already been waiting at the top of the ramp suppressing the top team. So group A will slide or toss the flag to group B who will grab the flag and immediately run down into the bottom courtyard. The staircase close to the killhouse is the fastest way. Group A will follow group B and pretty much become part of group B. If the flag holder is shot then someone else will grab the flag and keep going. The group will continue until they reach the hole in the wall in the courtyard. When they reach it they will slide or toss the flag to the defending group who will place the flag with the other flag. If done correctly the flags will be together in less than a minute. Once the flags are together the whole team defends the flags.

If something goes wrong and group A reaches the flag and group B is not there then group A becomes group B. Also if group A never reaches the flag then group B will grab it. Also if the group reaches the hole in the courtyard and the defending group is not at the flag then all the other players become a human shield for the flag holder to get the flag to the other flag.

Now for the top team’s strategy. They will divide their team into 3 groups just like the bottom team. But of course their strategy will be different.

The defending group will immediately go defend the flag. Then group A and B will merge together and rush to the other ramp and go into the hallway. As they get to a point where they can shoot down the ramp they will do so if there is anyone down there. Also one player from group B will stay at the top of the ramp shooting down. But once the rest of the players are in the hallway the rest of group B will split from group A and go into the bank and shoot out of the bank at any enemy in sight. But group A will continue through the hallway and down the stairs. They will shoot down the hallway as they advance to the flag. Once they get down the hallway to the flag they will grab it of course and run back. Group B will also merge with them when they reach the flag and follow them back up the staircase and down the hallway. But when they make it out of the hallway and to the top of the ramp they will become a human shield for the flag holder and shoot at the enemy until the flag holder is safe. Once the flag holder is safe they will follow him until the flag is with the other flag. Once it is, the whole team will defend the flag. Except for group B, group B will defend the other ramp and shoot at any enemy in the hallway. If done correctly then the flags should be together in a matter of seconds.

Of course if group A is all shot before they get the flag then group B will become group A. Also if anyone in a group is shot the rest of the group will keep going. Also if the flag holder is shot then someone else will grab the flag. 

Of course I’ve never tried this but I plan to. But if you try this before I do then please tell me the results. Also I hope you enjoyed this and I hope this strategy works. But this has been Nehemiah Varnell and I hope you have a good day and goodbye.
