Shouldn't this entry (which is a fine entry BTW) be entitled Paintballing or similar. When I saw wargaming, ?I thought it would be about, er wargames. Although paintball is often referred to as argaming bang wargames into a search engine and you won't get many paintball links.
Like I said. Good entry otherwise.

Well look at it this way: You shoot people. You carry 'guns'. The aim is to 'kill' the opposition. If that ain't a wargame, I don't know what is!
PS: Sorry I didn't reply sooner...

I think what Massive Bureau is trying to get across is that you mention various types of wargaming (sports, paintball, roleplaying), you just don't even mention the type that is actually called wargaming.
Have to admit, I came upon this page looking for that, though I do see your point, paintball is a type of wargame when you think about it.
Sort of a 'live' equivalent of wargaming, in a simmilar way that LARP is a 'live' version of tabletop RP.
