"Frequently characters, especially heroic Main Characters, find themselves going up against an opponent which outnumbers them or otherwise has a tactical advantage. Whether the character is a Badass or completely incapable, they know that in this instance, they don't have enough of a chance in a straight-up fight, so they try to gain an advantage by out-thinking their opponent. One way of doing this try to make the enemy think that the enemy is outnumbered or surrounded, by pretending that there are people on your side which in fact do not exist. The most basic way to do this is to lie to the enemy. For example, the hero might say \"I have snipers covering the back door\" when they are in fact all alone. The hero might also call out false commands to non-existent groups. For example, a two man team might loudly call out command likes \"First platoon, cover my flank!\" Even more sophisticated methods might involve creating simulation or illusion of backup. If the hero is under seige, he might use these methods to convince the besiegers that they have reinforcements on the way, when in fact there are none. Examples"@en . . . . . . .
