  • I’m not a history expert or anything like that but my biggest peeve is when nobody does even the most basic scouting/recon. Getting your war camp “surprise attacked” should be literally impossible! Or showing up to the battle just to be aghast the enemy has some strange new unit or fortification the good guys could never have anticipated! Or any time there’s a “we’ll figure it out as we go along” battle plan. Yeeesh.

    But yeah I get it, audiences love to be surprised. In reality, there’s far less surprises in war because tacticians take as much care as possible to not be surprised.
