A bit more accessible concept would be that of zone defense, a strategy that many who watch or play sports will already be familiar with.

Mountains present unique challenges for military operations and have rules all their own regarding tactics. Join Malark as we explore the unique combat that takes place during the defense of mountains. 48:44 no <p>Most of what we study in the art of war concerns wide open spaces. One of the big reasons for this is that many of our authors wrote at a time when open warfare was the expected norm. During the time of Clausewitz, however, the rules were changing rapidly. As technology shaped the newly emerging battlefield, it also brought changes to tactics and strategy. Nowhere is this more evident than in the defense of mountains. Many of the rules are completely different, some counterintuitively, so they deserve their own special.

These questions and more are explored as Todo joins Malark to discuss the battle. 1:06:10 no <p>No battle can take place unless by mutual consent. By and large, this decision is left up to the defenders. Patience, then, is called for to give us the best chance at victory.

]]> Some heroes are born, thrust from their very birth into the burdens of greatness. Others are made through their circumstances, shaped and molded by their experiences and environment into a driven champion of their ideals. Whether compelled by ideals, vengeance, quest, or sheer boredom; these entertaining and engaging characters exist not only to amuse but also to instruct. The Saga of Ref the Sly is an unorthodox story with some unorthodox lessons to be learned. Turkeyfeathers joins us to discuss how theses early themes can be applied for a better wargaming experience
