Oh well - french will do... all you Brits are nearly french anyway (geographical proximity, migration, etc.)
I DO remember us having a heated discussion in here a year ago, where you more or less said I was insane to say tactics had a place in paintball...... Nice to see you've finally come around to a sensible point of view !
Ainsi, C'est très possible après tout, monsieur Robbo
Ce n'est pas possible apres tout, Monsieur Brockdorf parce que nous ne parlons pas au sujet de la meme chose.
Nick, what you were advocating as a viable option for tactical deployment is not what I am now talking about, as you well know.
My ideas of set-plays was never pre-empted by yourself in the way that I laid them out in the article and therefore you taught me nothing.
You conveniently ignored the fact that you were advocating the use of tactics in the game as it was then, without substantiating them in any coherent structure.
The idea of set-plays that I talked about in my recent article gave tactics a structure and more importantly a practical approach to introducing them.
But both of us are still pissing in the wind for that matter as both of us similarly know that no team (bar perhaps one, RL) has as of yet, gone down the tactical road to the extent that I and perhaps you would advocate and with that in mind, this discussion is purely in the realms of academia...which a lot of the posts between us, tend to end in.
Laters Duuuuuuude
