Forum:Can you help me refine this tactic?

I have been playing left 4 dead for only 2 days now, but I am starting to develop a tactic for the boathouse finale, I would like some help refining it.

every time I have used it, it has worked, but other people's attempts may help me work out more details and prepare it to post in the wikipage.

this is what I've worked out: everyone gets a pipe bomb. you use them periodically, one person will throw a pipe bomb after climbing aboard the ship, allowing the others to get on and avoid the horde... everyone stays on the dock at the very front, farthest from shoreline and fight the zombies.

I still haven't figured out the details of how I dealt with the special infected other than to try and kill them before they make it to the dock.
