An attack made without intending to capture the area. This is often a good tactic against a foe who has split his forces but who has reinforcements coming up, leaving your attackers subject to counterattack. It can be tricky to execute, as attacking with too many units can result in the undesired capture of the area, while attacking with too few can result in an unfavorable loss ratio. Don Rae on his website prefers to use the term "Strafing Attack", but I prefer to use that to mean an attack by unsupported air units.

- "What risk do we face from these mercenaries?"
- Stalwart men-at-arms all of them, but not numerous enough to take on a determined house without plenty of help.
- "My [lady/lord], my people have passed word that the Merchants' Guild has sent armsmen to raise a host of mercenaries against us."
- "The M-Merchants' Guild has p-plenty of coin to raise a sizable f-force, and there are plenty of potential r-recruits in the area of late."
- "We'll send our sworn swords to bushwhack these armsmen and their mercenary fodder."
- "How long would it take them to raise a large enough force to storm [Your Holding]?"
- "We'll send sworn swords to call out these armsmen and their mercenaries, with honor."
