If someone goes ahead to warn the troops, and I move away from the troops, not only will our men be warned but the ones following me won't cut down their numbers. It'll give the troops a better chance of fighting, and if they win they'll be able to swoop in and save us. Hopefully."</strong>Because pincer attacks from multiple angles are a bad thing.
