Hi and this is a guide on how to ambush an enemy effectively. All of these tactics are tested and used to win easily. If you have anymore information please post it in this thread to add on to anything.

First, take notice of where the enemy will be infiltrating into your area. I play at a creek and I've found that it is very helpful to set up a sniper in the water or on the coastline. Have another sniper look at the entrance from far away. Using radios will also help. Then, have to assault or riflemen (or 1 assault and 1 rifleman) or you can have more, set up so that they can go full auto as soon as the enemy comes out.
Second, have your walkie-talkies on the same channel. When the snipers see the enemy coming out, they will radio you in. When they tell you the enemy is coming, open fire as soon as you have a clear shot.

Sometimes, the enemy sees this coming and will try to go around the ambush with seperate men. Make sure you have snipers near every little secret entrance you can think of. Then have an assault troop wait at the main infiltration point. If the enemy goes around it, follow them silently but quickly and fire on them while their back is turned. If you see an enemy going in a certain direction, don't just go firing into the bushes. Try to go around and take them out from behind.

Any other ideas will be very helpful. Post them in this thread.

I prefer a 1 or 2 man ambush to a huge ambush. A single person can take down several of the other team if he is hidden in a good spot. I've hidden myself well before, and managed to ambush a large patrol, they never saw it coming, and never found out where the bb's came from.

I see alot of folks share strategies and tactics that refer to use of terrain elements sometimes particular to the area they play in. Which is fine and completely understandable. But I'd like to see general tactics that work in any (within reason) setting. Reading specific tactics that includes trees, thickets, roads, trails, etc, etc, etc is fine for the writer but they obviously can't apply to every situation or even more than a few. Not saying they couldn't work fine in that particular situation (and certainly gives you something to think about) but they are designed around specific elements specific to that situation.
