OK, how the hell did this work?
You know in western movies when a couple of guys have a posse on their arse, when they have said chasers about two days behind them, and they reach some spot in a vast rocky, sandy, dusty landscape, one of them blokes say:
- They’ll think we’re heading west, but let’s turn south, towards Mexico.
It’s always bloody Mexico. But my question is, how the hell can they be spot on their trail?
I can’t be in bloody Gothenburg somewhere in the centre and decide to head south, with someone after me knowing if I’m heading towards the stadium, the Catholic church, the Opera house, O’Learys pub, or what!
On a bit more serious note, in war back in the days of Alexander, or the Romans, or you take your pick, how the hell did they march straight towards one another?
If their in one place, marching towards south for days, just a few degrees towards west or east would mean miles apart.
OK, so I know they had scouts, still.
I think it was all decided with dice or arm wrestling.
