Introduction: Wood Wars the Game

About: EAGLE SCOUT

 Learn how my scout troop   Troop 30    creates realistic battle scenarios    with just a few sticks and large pieces of wood


PLEASE do not criticize as this is my first instructable    constructive criticism welcome


                                  SCOUTMASTERS   If you have any concerns, suggestions, or requests   I would be happy to take them!!!

Step 1: Choose Your Style of Warfare

 you need to choose either swords or guns



                   In this picture, I am neither the man nor the woman

Step 2: Decide on a Time Period

 I would choose either any WW2 theater of war or freestyle

Step 3: Choose Teams and Commanders

 For instance, in my troop, I am the Commander of the Battle Tigers Heavy Infantry Division


           For a team name, you can use just about anything as long as it is intimidating (and Cookie Monsters is NOT intimidating)

          Then you need a style either heavy or light   and a unit size other than army and Corp.

Step 4: Axis and Allied (good and Enemy)

 Now you need to choose either axis or allied for both teams

 depending on the style you chose (swords or guns)   if you chose swords it will be set up in a way that lets you charge and disarm your adversary thus capturing him (who ever has the most soldiers left when the scoutmaster calls everyone in   or one team is completely eliminated   wins

          (If you chose guns then see the next step)

Step 5: If You Chose Guns

 If you chose guns then the scouts will have to be honest and know when they are dead
they need to know that a medic can revive them     one medic per team      you also need a forest


            the axis team   depending on the circumstances    will advance a reasonable distance into the woods and set up a base          The allied team will then rally their troops and send out lightly armed patrols and scouts     the game ends when either the axis or the allied is dead

               I have fought entire battles and not taken or fired a single shot because of the loyalty of my troops

REMEMBER   it is not a great commander or tactician who wins the war    but a division that works well TOGETHER   this is a team based game and no single person can win it

Step 6: Additional Rules

 NO actual guns or weapons
NO airsoft or paintball guns
NO sling shots
NO Hurting anybody 
NO exceptions
YES HAVE FUN

Step 7: Remember These Simple Rules and the Game Will Go Smoothly

 Best of luck to you    and may GENERAL EISENHOWER be with you always



Step 8: Other Rules and How to Play the Game

 if you get shot you are DEAD    no exceptions
with a sword you may only hit your opponent's weapon   NO EXCEPTIONS
This is a survival game   like Zombie Tag     (I will make that instructable soon)
this is also like paintball and airsoft   just without working weapons
Basically, to play the game, you need to send soldiers into the woods to eliminate the enemy commander and his or her division
      I suggest that you use formations and stealth to your advantage  as well as surprise and overwhelming force
             A fun tactic is to surround the enemy and force them to surrender
                        THIS GAME SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED AT NIGHT OR RISK LOSING YOUNGER SCOUTS      USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM     THE SCOUTMASTER NEEDS TO KNOW WHERE EVERYONE IS  AND THE PLAYERS MAY NOT EVER USE THE SCOUTMASTER AS AN INFO BOOTH
