Teaching set

Tiger Secret Teachings 4.5 (35)

Observed lessons

Be prepared for obstacles, extremes of weather and military goals such as laying siege.
Ensure everyone is trained to use equipment.

Discussion

There is a basic need in any action, which is to have the tools for the job. Certainly, you can adapt and adopt, which can be a very useful skill, but nothing beats having the proper kit, and in war this can mean the difference between success and failure.

Training just specialists for using equipment seems like a good idea, though if they get killed or injured, which does happen in war, then who will take over from them? Having multi-skilled soldiers gives you much more flexibility.
