I think it is important to realise that paintball and laser tag and all 
these games bear very little resemblence to reality. It is just a game! 
Training, tactics etc really don't work with either game for the simple 
reason that the rules are completely different, as are the 
ranges/accuracies.

But physical fitness (and the ability to move quietly in the woods) is 
pretty key.

I would reckon that running Tuffleyverse versions of a military exercise

(using miltary style laser equipment) would be the best way to work it,
but 
that's taking it waaaaaaaaaay to seriuosly for me!
