The Razors of House Dolour’s Expeditionary Force

# Pillage, then burn.
# Range support covers a multitude of sins.
# Range support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart.
# Never turn your back on an enemy.
# Once is happenstance. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.
# When in doubt, empty your quiver.
# Perception is not reality. You may choose to ignore reality but reality is never going to ignore you.
# Do unto others.
# People who say the ends justify the means are either unable or unwilling to find better means.
# Don't break anybody's heart, they have only one. Break their bones, they have 206.
# Marksmen motto: Only you can prevent friendly fire.
# Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth.
# The longer everything goes according to plan, the bigger the impending disaster.
# If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
# If you're not willing to attack your own position, you're not willing to win.
# Don't be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.
# If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
# If the price of collateral damage is high enough, you might be able to get paid to bring ammunition, magic items, and material components home with you.
# The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, no more, no less.
# A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.
# Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.
# If you're leaving tracks, you're being followed.
# If the enemy is in range, so are you.
# That which does not kill me has made a tactical error.
# There is no 'overkill.' There is only ‘shoot’, and 'I need more ammunition.'
# Not all good news is enemy action.
# No good deed goes unpunished. No bad deed should go unpunished either.
# "They'll never expect this" means "I want to try something stupid."
# If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and you're lucky.
# Always check around doors and corners. Curiosity did not, in fact, kill the cat. Carelessness did.
# There's a fine line between genius and insanity. Tread carefully.
# If it will blow a hole in the ground, it will double as an entrenching tool.
# The size of the combat bonus is inversely proportional to the likelihood of surviving to collect it.
# Don't try to save money by conserving ammunition.
# Weapons, poisons, and magic items exist for a singular purpose - to be used.
# Incoming attacks have the right of way.
# Be courteous, be professional, and always have a plan to kill everyone or everything you meet.
# No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.
# Don't expect the enemy to cooperate in the creation of your dream engagement.
# Always have a backup plan. It's all fun and games until someone loses it.
# If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan your attack properly.
# Every client is one missed payment away from becoming a target.
# Every target is one bribe away from becoming a client.
# When a client says is ‘Very pleased with your work’, it means ‘Now go hurt some people and break their stuff.’
# Let them see you sharpen the sword before you fall on it.
# The army you've got is never the army you want.
# The intelligence you've got is never the intelligence you want.
# It's only too many troops if you can't pay them.
# It's only too many weapons if they're pointing in the wrong direction.
# The pen is mightiest when it writes orders for swords.
# Two wrongs is probably not going to be enough.
# Don't complain about training. The more you sweat in training, the less you'll bleed in battle.
# The best techniques are passed down by the survivors.
# Anything worth doing will make a mess. 
# Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.
# Any weapon's rate of fire is inversely proportional to the number of available targets.
# Don't bring big explosions into small rooms.
# The nobles know how to do it by knowing who can do it.
# An ounce of sniper is worth a pound of suppressing fire.
# Necessity is the mother of deception.
# If you can't carry money, carry a weapon.
# Negotiating from a position of strength does not mean you shouldn’t also negotiate from a position near the exits.
# Sometimes rank is a function of firepower.
# Failure is not an option. It is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.
