[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 3503351, member: 9026"] Well, there's two ways to look at it : From the Character's perspective, since we're all heretics and fugitives, rule zero when discovered would be "scatter and survive", not "drive them off". If we had the power to drive off an entire army in the first place, we wouldn't need to have secret bases. From the Player's perspective (Metagaming), this is the "get the PC's moving" hook where we're supposed to fight a bit, show our power, and then realize we're in over our head and we have to escape, to fight again another day. Either way, our best bet is fight as long as we can, do as much damage to our opponents as possible, distract them to let any others escape, and then get the hell outta there ourselves. My 'attack them' concept comes from the idea that if we go on the offensive, we'll attract their attention to ourselves, letting others in the camp (more civillian) time to escape. Also, we're probably more capable of blasting a hole through them if they DO surround us, and escaping. [/QUOTE]
