We tried to hold a formation, with the bodyguards holding the outer perimeter and the less experienced combatants, myself included, in the center.
Makes sense. I think I’m gonna call this a jawbreaker formation – a hard, thick shell around a squishy gum core.
How many licks does it take to get through the bodyguards?
It quickly became apparent that these things didn’t really hold up in a real combat situation.
Apparently not many.
For one thing, our enemies quickly figured out what we were trying to do and tried to force Lisa’s soldiers to break ranks. They would hang back and throw things, or stay just out of reach as they held weapons at the ready, looking for a moment when our front-line fighters were distracted or otherwise occupied.
Y’know, this isn’t exactly the fight I was expecting to see solid tactical warfare in.
It forced Lisa’s soldiers to move out of formation to deliver with the enemy with a few decisive hits, then back up to close the gap in the line.
I feel like the fact that I feel like I’m watching chess moves in this quote says a lot.
