War - Taboos of War

[BLUEHAWK]

As stated by Marshal Liu Bocheng vis a vas strategic decisions:

1. Do not fight a war if the country is not powerful enough (including manpower and financial and military strength.)

2. Do not fight a war if the situation is unfavorable (including the international situation and the attitudes of neighboring countries.)

3. Do not fight a war if there is no domestic tranquility.

4. Do not fight a war if the people do not support it.

5. Do not fight a war if the country has to fight on two or more fronts.

That is the two fronts.

I know... :D

When I read those taboos I was thinking it is pretty much impossible to avoid them!

I was thinking the same thing Bluehawk. They also assume you have a choice of whether to fight or not to begin with.
