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
