If woodsball is the essence of paintball, MILSIM is a refinement designed to offer players an extra level of realism.

MILSIM develops the essence of woodsball into a more organized game, based on structure, team-tactics, and a feeling of realism that can only be role-played if everyone is in on the charade. Originally met with skepticism, MILSIM type marker modifications have been available for years.

Woodsball is the heart of paintball, offering players tactics beyond the angles and "plays" of the static environment of an airball field. Woodsball includes the aspect of a dynamic environment and has the unique advantage of being both available to players at established fields around the country and the type of game that a few buddies can play in a backyard.

MILSIM paintball expands on this with a defined command structure, players using military equipment that can include uniforms, vests, even helmets, and markers styled after military weapons. MILSIM also makes use of accurate maps, and military mission based scenario games.
