The game is not about doing silly things that you know will fail, or that you are pretty sure have a snowball's chance in hell of surviving more than about a week. You *can* do those things, but saying that the game is all about that is simply wrong.
Armstrong isn't that sort of maverick character who would do silly things just for the sake of it. He obviously *thinks* he has a plan. It'll be interesting to see what he does next.
Anyway, it's livened up a boring war.
