| Review: |
Overall I enjoyed this DVD. It came across as very professional and provided nice explanations of some basic woodsball tactics and Special Ops positions (Dagger, Sabre, Broadsword, Commander, Sniper). However, a lot of it just felt like hype for Special Ops products. Each chapter seemed to be laced with promotions for some gun, vest, camo, or other knick knack. Fortunately, the hype isn't enough to overpower the tactical value of the DVD.
If you've been playing paintball for a while then you'll already know most of the tactics/plays, but if you're a rookie looking for a few new ideas (especially on how to burn a hole in your pocket) look no further.
Just about anyone can appreciate the action of this DVD aswell as a nice refresher for tactics. It's just too bad it's only 20 minutes long, which makes it a bit of an uneven value at $10. I received my DVD as part of a sales promotion at Christmas, so it might be a good idea to wait until such an opportunity arises again. |

| Conclusion: |
If you really want it, you won't be disappointed purchasing it. Just don't be expecting the end-all-be-all of tactics videos. As for me, I wouldn't have gotten it unless it was a freebie give-away, which it was at the time. |
