me and my friends play a lot of woods ball in the area around where we live. and i have developed several strategies that can help in a one on one woods game or even a two on two or two on one game in the woods.
first it helps to know a little about the person or people you are playing against. each person has their own habits and play styles. knowing them makes things much easier. predictability is hard to come by in the woods.
second think of it similar to how a hunter thinks of hunting an animal. deer for example are very alert creatures and require a certain degree of skill to hunt. people are also alert and that can be turned to your advantage.
third most people dont play lots of woods games so they will not be used to the style of a woods game. moving around is generally a bad thing. move slow and low. take your time. they will most likely get tired of waiting and start moving around a lot. and camo doesnt work as well when your running through the woods. most bushes and trees that ive ever seen dont run.
one on one in the woods is a whole other world. try it out sometime.

The number one rule is to stay spread out. There is a natural tendency, especially for newbies to bunch up. Groups of 2 or more make a lot more noise, are easier to see, and make a better target than one person by himself. I like to run 3 or 4 people along the same path spaced out so that they can just see one another, the further apart the better. The people in the front and back need to be the best. Hopefully the person in the front spots the other team first. staying spaced allows you better angles of fire. The trick is that once the fighting starts the guy in the back swings around and comes in from the back of the other team. I nice flanking move. The quicker and qieter you can move in the woods the better this will work.
