You're right, robinrobinson, they could just show up out of nowhere. Of course, that would take a lot of coordination and the BB definitely doesn't have that. They've got so many people that they can't even control where they go- the leaders target one suburb and then the 8 suburbs around it get destroyed. I mean, there were BB people attacking Caiger when the leaders were saying they wouldn't even hit Ackland. They definitely don't have the coordination to just stop dead in their tracks and run a few suburbs south. Of course, they could, but it's a risk worth taking if spreading out to the rest of Ridleybank draws more attention from all sides.
The RRF might have been able to do something like that, in their height, but probably not anymore. They're trying their best to ignore us officially while they're attacking us with damn near everything they've got.
Anyhow, if they do show up out of nowhere, they'll have the element of surprise and they'd be fools to waste that on a bunch of clubs and churches! Likewise, they'd be fools to waste it on the Blackmore, which could probably withstand whatever shock they throw at it. I think that if they get the jump on us, they're going one place: Nichols! Perhaps we should consider doing something about that.
I've actually got to think about this, some. The RRF know they can't win at Blackmore, so they've taken the fight to the streets, where they've got things more on their terms. They say it's to cut us off, but it's as much about that as it is finding some small victory in Ridleybank. We could try fighting them to deny them even this, or we could pull back to Nichols and Blackmore, which would force them to fight us on our terms- if they would fight us at all, at that point. Of course, if they leave, we can move out again, but there's no decisive victory in that- and it's a decisive victory that we need! That's why we've been taking these risks! Going to Ridleybank was not enough and neither was surviving. We need to draw them into a larger fight and I'm not sure that playing things safe is the way to do that. Any other ideas on this? I could use some input! I'm in a pickle, here!
