In any event the advance party, which we would let pass, remained on the road and was out of touch with the main group. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 32, Sentence #11)

Had there been I would have expected a point with flankers to the side, proceeding through the grass, each of whom would be in contact, by sound or visual signal, with the column itself. Perhaps, however, the corsairs, puzzled as they might have been by the lack of contact with the village raiders, now pinned within the palisade of the burned village, did not believe anything might be seriously amiss. Perhaps the village raiders were occupied, gathering loot, drinking home-brewed paga, abusing captives, pursuing fugitives, or such. In any event the advance party, which we would let pass, remained on the road and was out of touch with the main group. Given this arrangement, the advanced party might not even be aware, at least immediately, that the main group was under attack. Needless to say, the advance party's narrow adherence to the road allowed our archers to be in a position to fire at almost point-blank range. Moreover, as our archers were on both sides of the road, the shields of our targets, which could face but one way at a time, would be largely ineffective. - (Avengers of Gor)
