I think, fundamentally, I still disagree that this is the only remaining assessment if the Iron Company don’t suffer heavy losses here. It’d help me to understand your thoughts here a little more. There’s no circumstance beyond inflicting heavy losses and keeping possession of the food in which Sieghard would be willing to de-escalate or retreat from the immediate action?

I’m not saying I think it’s likely that e.g. Corrado’s first words upon regaining his faculties will be “I’ve reconsidered; let’s negotiate!” However, I read what you say as suggesting that there’s no acceptable outcome here beyond essentially winning this engagement, whatever the risk. Sieghard won’t fight a retreat from the windmill if he gets the chance and try to get the hell out of town ahead of the Iron Company contingent so we can regroup and try to move against them from a different position?
