Basic Strategies

Tape a flashlight to your gun. Inspired by Speed (the movie that is), this tactic proved extremely valuable later that night. This technique works best when it is very dark. The flashlight serves to at first blind and surprise your opponent. This only lasts for a moment, at which point your enemy says "Ha! I can just aim at the light!" You, clever as you are, realize this and switch off the flashlight thus blinding the swine again. Continue moving and switching the light on and off to harry your enemy indefinitely. Two of us once used this technique through the windows of our home to defend against a raid. Switching the porch light on and off helped as well. We were outnumbered 2 to 6 and had them convinced there were 4 or 5 of us in the house.

Work in a squad if you can. 3 or 4 coordinated (realitivly) and well armed troopers cannot be defeated. Especially against unarmed opponents ;} Choose a variety of well balanced weapons. My preferred squad is one heavy weapon, the 300, with two 150 XPs for quick assaults and support. The 300 provides heavyhitting power, but is by no means easy to move quickly with. The 150s compensate for this nicely. With this combination you can slash with the 150s and open up your victims to the might of the 300. Match your weapons well and work in teams.

Know well the Ground of Soaking. Understanding where the battle will be fought is a great asset. Where refills can be found, solace can be sought (cowards), and where ambushes may lie and may be set. Some of my mightiest victories were in the dorm where I once lived.

Move Move Move! The worst drenchings come from a straight on, direct hit. If you keep moving you will most likely only get caught with a glancing stream here or there. Only resort to a head-to-head standing squirt-fest in the most desperate or silly situations. Be decisive and take chances. Be aggressive, move on your opponent. There are moments where battles are decided in an instant, be prepared. Rub two Boy Scouts together.
