DiscussionWhen surrounded, soldiers will either surrender or fight. If they fight, they are desperate and will already have assumed that they will probably die. If they have not given in, they will fight with enormous energy and determination. This can be useful when you want your troops to fight hard. Send them into a situation where they have little chance of surviving and they may well surprise the enemy with their determination and fierceness, and hence may be more effective than if they were fighting on equal terms. By varying where you attack, you keep the enemy uncertain and disorganized as they do not where to place their best troops. See also
