[QUOTE="mmadsen, post: 285153, member: 1645"] [b]Re: Sun Tzu's Art of War[/b] From X. TERRAIN: [Color=Silver] 8. With regard to narrow passes, if you can occupy them first, let them be strongly garrisoned and await the advent of the enemy. 9. Should the army forestall you in occupying a pass, do not go after him if the pass is fully garrisoned, but only if it is weakly garrisoned. 10. With regard to precipitous heights, if you are beforehand with your adversary, you should occupy the raised and sunny spots, and there wait for him to come up. 11. If the enemy has occupied them before you, do not follow him, but retreat and try to entice him away. 15. Other conditions being equal, if one force is hurled against another ten times its size, the result will be the flight of the former. 19. When a general, unable to estimate the enemy's strength, allows an inferior force to engage a larger one, or hurls a weak detachment against a powerful one, and neglects to place picked soldiers in the front rank, the result must be rout. [/Color] Some of those naturally apply to underground dungeon terrain. [/QUOTE]
