Was having trouble posting so I did the link only thing and it was posted. Not sure if it was me (I’m technically challenged) or the Mail

The Mail is a bit tricky because it always appends its own HTML credit at the end of whatever you copy. You can excerpt here, though. That is not against the rules.

Anyway, it’s no big deal, exbrit, and and thanks for posting it.

The advantage in this situation is still with the individual, for several reasons.

First of all, even if it is a large confined area, it is still indoors, with lots of places to hide. If the attackers stay together as a group, it defeats the purpose of what they are doing, so if they are smart, they break into two or three man teams and fan out.

They also have to maintain exit security, and carry out what they are intending to do, which takes manpower. If they take prisoners, somebody has to guard them.

The individual, on the other hand, hides and looks for any good opportunity to nail a limited number of attackers at a time. His security bubble is limited to himself, so he can have good focus.

If he kills an attacker, he gets any assets the attacker had, and then hides the attackers body, which will frustrate the attacker group trying to control the situation.
