During war, fortifications are built behind natural barriers
such as hills. In open terrains battle tanks and other armored vehicles can
move quickly and attack the deep defense. Impassable terrain could be used to
the defenders' advantage.
For the attacking forces, there is no way to assess the
strength of the other side as they are hiding behind the fortifications built
around these barriers. One of the ways to do this is by sending a scouting
party. A few troops are send to get information about
the area and about the enemy’s movements and position.
If the scouting party find the defense
is weak they signal other troops to launch an assault. If the defense is strong
and cannot be broken they retreat and wait till the arrival of further
reinforcement.
Trading is war. Fortifications are
built behind trader decision points. You do not know what exists there. The
only way to know this is to wait till a scouting party to cross the line and
assess the situation. Listen to their signals and act accordingly.
BOF and BPB are much more reliable
signals than TST and FTC
