ABSTRACT
Whenever you compel an enemy to come forth and engage in battle, their strategic disposition of power will usually be vacuous, so they will be incapable of going into combat, while your strategic power will always be substantial. If you employ many methods to compel the enemy to come forward while you occupy improved terrain and await them, you will always be victorious. A tactical principle from the Art of War states: "Compel others; do not be compelled by others."
