Fighting For Families And Fathers (And A Flower Festival)

One author either directly quotes another or deploys recognizable phraseology:

"'They'll have all the unit formation of a street brawl after a racetrack meeting - but don't forget. They're fighting on the doorsteps of their homes, for their families and Church and the graves of their fathers.'"
-The Hammer, CHAPTER EIGHT, p. 449.

See previous Horatius references.

This enemy lacks organization but not motivation.

It is a Bank Holiday (scroll down) weekend with a Flower Festival in the church at Glasson and a BBQ at a friend's house near the canal. I will post about Poul Anderson's Murder Bound but there is no hurry.

Kaor, Paul!

The Squadrons had lacked not simply organization alone but the ability to work out the proper tactics needed for defeating Raj and the patience that requires. All the Squadrons had to do was use superior numbers to bottle up the smaller Civil Government army in a fixed location and let starvation and disease do the work for them. But, no, they had to charge in at once!
