Basic Strategy, Monday, Period 4
The students were directed to meet outside in a field near the school today, Tyrion not wanting to waste the mild spring weather. The observant might notice two sets of shelves off to the side; one was full of pillows, the other of cream pies.
"Welcome to the brave wide world of outside. Today we're starting a unit on military strategy," he said cheerfully. "We'll begin by exploring the pros and cons of different weapons." He went through a reasonably detailed brief description of swords, shields, and arrows, concluding by handing out a flier showing many different kinds of blades.
"As this is a strategic class," he finished, "and as I am not actually insane enough to set you on each other with weapons, we're shifting to a different kind of weapon for the class activity." He gestured to divide the group roughly in half.
"This side of you will get pillows, this side pies. You have ten minutes now to swap sides if you wish to be a traitor, to elect generals, to don armor" --- and there he gestured to a rack of rain ponchos -- "and to otherwise plan your strategy. When the time is up, we go to war. You're out when you get hit in the head at all, or in the chest hard enough to stagger you. Be honest. The team with the most people standing at the end is the winner."
He glanced across the group. "Begin ... now."

Though he did hope, glancing down at the chair, that 'left standing' wasn't meant to be taken literally in his case. That might present some difficulty.
