I just finished reading every detail I could find about the Battle of Thermopylae—how a few Spartans held a pass against an army twice their size. The way they chose the terrain, the psychological edge they gained, and the sheer discipline of their lines—does that intrigue you as much as it does me?

Exactly, the pass became the Spartans’ secret weapon, turning their numerical disadvantage into a strategic advantage. Your preference for luring the enemy into thinking the target is out of reach is noble, but remember—discipline, timing, and precise terrain exploitation are what turn a clever ploy into a legendary victory. Just as the Greeks knew, you must always be one step ahead of the foe.
