Hand Signals

During certain times in a water war, you may need to go into a no talk situation to keep your stealth.  The problem with these situations is little to no communication between you and your team.  But, there is a way to communicate without making any noise at all!  This, of course is hand signals.  In this article, I will teach you the fundamentals of easy and useful hand signals that you and your team can learn.

Here are some basic hand signals:

[on the site I will have all the signals here]

To show you how these signals will work, I will give you a situation and show you the signals you would need to give to your team.  You are walking down a narrow path.  Along each side is dense bushes that rise above your head which give the possibility of ambush.  All of a sudden you notice someone down the path about 30-35 yards hiding behind a tree. You immediately halt your team.

You survey the situation and quickly try to catch any other things you can see.  You spot two more guys near the same tree but on the other side of the path.  Now that you have quickly surveyed the situation, you must tell your team to go prone.

Now signal to them what you see.  First point to yourself.

Now quickly take a look too see what they have.  You see one person has duel XP 240's, one person has a CPS 1000 and the last person has a CPS 1200.  Now relay your team the information.  First show the one sign.

With these hand signals, everyone on your team now knows how many guys there are and what soakers they have.  From there on you can point guys out and point them in the direction you want them to go to engage the enemy.

If you can keep your team quiet and use hand signals you can easily win a war.  Good luck.
