I suspect he thought he got that one eyes and was calling in more birds to attack, and the pause was too long.
That was something I was taught during my training, NEVER stop, make SURE your opponent is down for the count.
A couple of reasons,
1) it’d their job
2) they hope at least parts go well
These days generals never see the battle field, unless they use satellite images,
plus they can blame a failure on someone there.
And it’s not about being able to lay blame. It’s about instilling the right habits of warfare so that when the soldiers ARE on the sharp end, their actions are performed as a natural process, without thought or hesitation. Thought and hesitation get you or your buddy killed (exhibit A) (Desert Storm vet here)
Basically I have had to Trash the entire site – though I naturally have all the content saved in numerous backups, never fear.
Still, it has not turned out to be an easy fix, and so will take extra time.
The up side is that this will allow me to make fixes and upgrades to the site which I had been putting off, and should allow a much more enjoyable experience!
Warmest regards,

Well… That didn’t go according to plan

Then why do generals always bother with planning?

Well, he forgot about the rest of them it looks like. Or just underestimated their speed.
Too bad; I liked what we had seen of his character.

Focused too long on the target. Stick and move, old son. Shoot, move, communicate.
