Their stories and games don't just inspire them, they mean that even the commoners have practiced some basic tactical maneuvers.This is not a PC-style D&D combat by the rules, where both sides line up and roll attack and damage against each other until everyone on one side is dead. The halflings don't even need to kill any of the attacking force. They just need to make each raider think "Ream this. They might take my eye out with the next rock. I'm just going to back off and maybe just swipe a sheep from that field as I head back."</blockquote>
