• Classic Elimination: Just so we all know where we're coming from, here's the basics of Classic. Split all players up fairly evenly (taking into account skill level, marker, experience, etc) into two teams and kill everyone on the opposite team.
  • Multi-team Variation: If you have enough people, split all players up into more than two teams, with every team for itself.
  • Medic Variation: Have each team label someone conspicuously (a large duct tape cross on the back and front works well) to designate them as a Medic. When someone is shot, they must stay in the same place and can only call for a medic until the medic comes and touches them to ressurrect them.
  • Every Man for Himself: No teams or alliances allowed. Set good boundaries; the last person alive wins.
  • Take the Gorge: This game requires a gorge, river, ravine, or similar terrain in the area. Set tight boundaries on the ends of the gorge, set one team up on each side, and have at it!
  • Alamo: Set up teams with about a 3:2 ratio. Have the team with less members select a highly defensible area (small building, small fort, boulder-bound area, grove) and have them yell when they are done setting up. The offensive team must then move toward the defenders' position until fired upon. The defending team is not allowed to surrender.
  • Mountainside: Similar to take the gorge, only it's take the mountain. Weight the teams in favour of those attempting to take the mountain, and give the defenders some time to set up.
• President: Split the teams up, slightly favoring the team protecting the President over the team sniping. Designate a landmark, which the President must reach in order to win. If the snipers kill the President, they win. If the protectors kill all the snipers or get the President to reach the landmark, they win. The president should be unarmed or lightly armed (slingshot, Talon, etc), but must of course wear a face mask, and may take the gun of any protectors who die.
  • Bullet-Proof Vest Variation: One may simulate bullet-proof vests on the protectors by allowing them to be shot twice before they die.
  • Parade Variation: Designate a road or canyon on which the President and protectors must walk on until shot at.
• Bridge Demolition: Designate a bridge, road, river, or other landmark to be the "bridge". Designate a small rock, cannister, or other small object as the "bomb". One team attempts to get this object to the "bridge" while the other team tries to prevent them from doing so. If the bomb carrier dies, s/he must lie there until game over or until a teammate comes to take charge of the bomb. If the bridge protectors get hold of the bomb, they win.
  • Demolition Squad Variation: Same as above, only no object need act as a bomb, Instead every member of the bombing team may be thought of as having a bomb, and any one of them may reach the bridge to blow it up. Weight the teams slightly in favor of the defenders.
• Hostage Rescue: Designate one person as a hostage. One team tries to rescue the hostage, while the other team tries to prevent the rescue. This game is especially good if you have a building or building-like terrain for the hostage to reside in. If the hostage attempts to escape, only then may s/he be shot by the hostage-takers. The hostage is, of course, unarmed but masked. Game ends if the hostage is shot, or if the rescuers get the hostage to a pre-designated spot.
• Rambo: One person (hopefully a fast runner) takes off running, attempting to reach a pre-designated landmark while everyone follows and attempts to kill Rambo before s/he reaches the landmark.
• Quick and Dirty: Have a referee set a time limit of 10 or 20 minutes. Give each team a starting position about 20 yards apart, and set boundaries. They must move towards the opposing team until engaged. Whoever has the most people left at the end of the time limit wins.
• Minesweeper: One team scatters themselves, hidden, in a certain well-bounded thickly foliaged area. The other team must find and kill all of them within a certain time limit. The hiders are not allowed to move once hidden. If at least one survives beyond the time limit, the hiders win.

• Terminators: Make two teams with about 4:1 ratio. The smaller team has an X taped on their chest. These players r "terminators" and can only die if they are shot in the X. The teams split up, and the larger team has to kill the terminators.
• Predator vs. Prey: Make two teams with about 4:1 ratio. The smaller team goes into the woods and sets up an Ambush. This team is the predators. The larger team, the prey, must kill all of the predators. However, if a prey is shot, he then becomes a predator. Any predator shot is dead and eliminated. Game ends when either all predators or prey are dead.

• Virus: One person will be chosen to be a virus. He will put on a marker of some kind that the rest of the people DO NOT have. He will go out and hide on the field. Everybody else will go try to hunt him down, shoot him three times and he is out, however, if you are shot by the virus, YOU are a virus, or "Infected," you will go out of the game and get some kind of marker to tell you are "infected." Once everyone is infected, or all infected players and the virus are out.
• Master: There are anywhere from 2-3 "Masters," they will be the "Banzaiers," they will be positioned at one end of the field, everyone else at the other end. The "Banzaiers" will run down their opponents and shoot them, however, if they miss over eight ( 8 ) Shots they are one of the opponents. The game is over when; the Banzaiers are all opponents, or the opponents are all eliminated...
• Cowboys & Indians: Cowboys & Indians: The cowboys line up apart from the Indians about 20 yards apart. The ref yells "YEEE-HAAA!" the players raise their guns, aim, and fire, they keep on shooting until there is only one player on either the "Cowboy Team," or the "Indian Team."

Downed Pilot: This is fairly straightforward: simple escape and evasion by one person, who mostly has to survive. It requires a good piece of country land, hopefully with easily defined borders.
The scenario is this:

One player is a combat pilot who has been shot down behind enemy lines. (All he has to do is make it from one end of the field to the other- perhaps across a road or fenceline. ) The other players simply have to find and capture or shoot the player. The focus here isn't exactly on combat- rather, it's on escape and evasion and staying quiet.

This works well with a fairly large team which has to cover a large area, and the distance the quarry has to travel is a fairly long one, something like a quarter mile at least. For added interest, you can throw in another fire team to meet up with him and escort. That requires extra people. We once tried it with the "extract" team and the pilot in radio communication, but someone on the other team was listening in.

For that final dash of realism, why not simulate the pilot having to carry a sidearm by giving him a Talon and forty rounds? (haven't found anyone willing to do this yet...)
