Surprise and Prevention

A siege is a messy business for all sides involved. Brutal close-quarters fighting and high casualty rates on both sides make the prospect a daunting one, regardless of whether attacking or defending. The tactics for these two roles differ greatly even though they fight the same battle. The attacker wants to end it quickly and with as little loss of life as possible. The defender wants to hold out and delay, hoping to break their assailant by force or nerves. In this episode, Thumbs and Malark examine what it takes to storm fixed positions of any sort, as well as what is required if you are called to defend them.
