An example, let's say there are several waves, and the first two waves hit generating non-blank reports, then the next few waves hit, but generate blank reports, but there isn't enough time to send scouts, and the last wave, possibly the main attack is now walking into a black hole because the attacker doesn't know what just happened. Their 125k troops are on possibly a one way trip to oblivion, and you are claiming that the attacker doesn't have a right to know what they are now walking into even though they probably spent days planning this attack?
you obviously need to change your tactics.
sending wave after wave of troops into an unknown situation only to have them slaughtered is just foolish.
It`s like in world war 1 when they continued to use outdated tactics of massed troops attacking across open ground.The invention of the machine gun made that tactic obsolete and suicidal,but the commanders refused to change their old tried and true tactics, that worked so well in the last war.
A successful general or soldier will adapt to the situation instead of crying about how come the situation wont adapt to my tactics.
