What are the most common causes of death on the battlefield? Fatigue and lack of focus. If you survive the first charge, the skirmish quickly turns into a war of attrition – especially when everyone is well-armoured. You exchange blows, try to find an opening. And then – you make a mistake. Or move your arm too slowly, which gives the opponent a chance to finally hit you where it hurts. This is why you must learn to conserve your energy. And how to draw from it when the opportunity to strike rises.
