Earliest memories include multitudes of FoF encounters. It was our primary mode of operation as boys growing up in a rural environment. Sticks led to dirt clods to pine cone and "cow patty" grenades to store bought toy guns to sling shots and china berry ammo to BB guns to bottle rocket and roman candle warfare.
Was it play or was it early training. All I know is this: when green pine cones were being thrown by the little league pitcher - it didn't seem like "play" to get hit. We learned about movement, cover, flanking maneuvers, fields of fire and to run like the scalded dogs when we experienced ammo depletion.
I would think a Ref or Ump or Safety Officer or Observer will be needed for maximum benefit from your war games. In set piece situations, if possible, the Ref should know what’s going down and the perp(s) should know, but the armed peasant(s) should be clueless.
