Tactics

I took a long hard look at the map, as I tried to decide what my orders were going to be.

Our forces were tired, bloodied, and barely hanging on.

I could order them to attack, a heroic final charge, which would give them peace, eventually, after they were killed.

I could order them to lay down their arms, and give them life, albeit under our enemies.

But then I got an idea.

Three days later, we were on top, our enemies on the run.

I'd tell you what I did, but I might need to use it on you.
