I practice my aim every time I walk home from school (whip a snowball at my friend when he's got his back turned ). I'm going to have a huge war with 4 of my frenns at the hill across the street from me. Let's list some tactics in this thread.

Well, I always build a base and about 100 snowballs before every snowball war I've ever had. Thats what most people do though. :Hey, that's funny.: Maybe you could take a WBL and make a snowball launcher? My dad said that him and some of his friends used to do that but with combustion spud guns. He said most of the time half the snowball melted, so air pressure is your best choice.

Camoflage--White pants, coat, gloves, hat, etc, etc. In other words, try to wear mostly white.
Weaponry--WBL fit for snowballs instead of water balloons, gloves (not mittens), packing snow (this type of snow only occurs when it has snowed, then it gets warmer so the snow gets slightly heated, then you can easily make snowballs that actually FLY and make an IMPACT )
--I'm well educated in the way of Snow Warfare
Also the snow forts should be built more complex. I like to put in rocks and sticks inside the snow walls of the fort (put the sticks into the ground first) to boost the strength of the walls.
Classifying snowballs--
1. "normal" snowballs are made of powder snow packed tightly together between your hands. These make more of an explosion effect on contact.
2. "Bullet" snowballs are made of packing snow. pack the snow tightly and constantly. This will harden it almost to the point where it feels like ice. I only use these for destroying forts at a distance, for it would injure someone closer
3. "Mongo" snowballs are huge ones made of any kind of snow. Just lightly pack the snow into a giant ball and lob them over fort walls.
Holy XPBackfire-esque I think I over did it there :blink:

One of my friends showed me this at school. I thought you would like it.

An awesome strategy to do is to put your unused guys in a corner where they can't get hit.

If you guys Don't call yourselves being too serious about water wars, then Don't say that we're too serious about snow wars. The area we fight in is a giant hill that has a steep slpoe on one side for quick escapes. There is kind of a pine tree shelter nearby that offers cover. There are two buildings in the area.
