Came off of the Rosenfeld site, but I had to share. :-)
>
> McMurphy's Laws of (Medieval) Combat
>
> 1. You are not immortal.
> 2. If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
> 3. Don't look conspicuous, it draws the enemy.
> 4. When in doubt, ATTACK!
> 5. Never share a shieldwall with someone braver than yourself.
> 6. Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
> 7. If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.
> 8. No plan survives first contact intact.
> 9. You are NOT being overrun, you are in a "Target Rich
>         Environment."
> 10. Try to look unimportant because the bad guys may be tired.
> 11. If you are forward of your position, the archers will fall
>         short.
> 12. The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack.
> 13. The important things are always simple.
> 14. The simple things are always hard.
> 15. The easy way is littered with caltrops.
> 16. If you are short of everything except enemy, you are in combat.
> 17. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
> 18. Incoming arrows have the right of way.
> 19. Friendly fire - isn't.
> 20. If the enemy's in range, so are you.
> 21. No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.
> 22. Ale Math:  Two flagons times 15 men = 42 kegs.
> 23. Body Count Math: Two Trimarians plus one ballista, plus two
>         stray cats =  37 enemy killed in action.
> 24. Anything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing.
> 25. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is
>         incoming friendly fire.
> 26. Make it tough for the enemy to get in, and you can't get out.
> 27. If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will
>         have more than your fair share of objectives to take.
> 28. When both sides are convinced they are about to lose, they are
>         both right.
> 29. Professional warriors are predictable, but the world is full of
>         amateurs
