Situation


The harsh reality of combat is the risk. As a soldier, you will train to be effective and deadly. An easily forgotten part is that the opposition is doing the same. The oppositions will to survive and win the battle is at the very least, as strong as your own - Their training have similarities to ours, their motive to fight can be similar to ours.

Do not forget that we are the "Opposition" to our enemy. They will do the same to us as we will do to them in Combat. We win the skirmish by being more prepared, more experienced and trick the enemy into a losing situation. By ensuring victory in the skirmish, we will reduce the chance of casualties. If you are in a situation where you take casualties, then you are in a scenario where the opposition have the upper hand.

RED Zone: This is where the Skirmish is happening. Bolts are being exchanged and Terrain is being contested. The Fight is happening here in other words.
