A question for H?

As far as I am concerned I do prefer to see him interject and ask the same thing again and again in this topic, instead of going to another one and filling the forum with similar topics ... I will only say that I find quite funny two logical issues with his motive behind the question : 1) The logic that since something worked once ergo it will work in the future, forever and unchanged, without adapting to the new situations, is quite obviously wrong. Surrendering only works on people that are willing to surrender and that is all it takes to stop that tactic from working.   Just adapt instead of still trying to use out of seer frustration the same tactic which worked on yourself. I understand his need for vengeance and of course he wants a surrender just to feel nice about it, but it ain't happening. Move on.

How so .?. Because you say it isn't .?.

Multiple RL examples depict otherwise ... referring to controversial historical events might be frowned upon so I will use non-controversial one's from our own history:

Spartans and Leonidas in Thermopyles. No surrender. Valid tactic.
Mesollogi siege defense in 1825-1826. No surrender. Valid tactic. They won the first siege and almost won the second one btw. They eventually exodused (they charged the besieging forces - est. 1500 survived)
Constantinopole siege defenses. No surrender in quite a numbers of cases (list here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sieges_of_Constantinople ). They won most of them.

You want more examples .?.

Well, if you find that solution easier or more reasonable, hey, who am I to tell you otherwise ...

I do have to note that I find such a solution quite unacceptable and I would have never been part of it ...

Sir A wrote:   But at least we have an understanding as far as I can see.  You're not willing to surrender so we will keep fighting.  So there is no point in whining about losing towns or how "evil" we are.  You said yourself you will not surrender, so you will have to deal with losing everything.

I will tell you an ancient true story.

Diogenis the cynic was known to have been exiled from his home city o Corinth, so someone once tried to make fun of him by saying "So, Diogenes, how does it feel to have been condemned to never return to your home city" ... Diogenes without missing a beat gave the historical answer : "They condemned me to never return and I condemned them to stay were they are"

Got it .?.
