Snow Fortress
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”This game involves two patrols.
One patrol builds a snow fortress according to their own ideas, with possibilities including embrasures—whether round (a redoubt), four-sided (a bastion), or a zigzagging bastion. Once the fortress is completed, the patrol that built it becomes its garrison and prepares for defense, gathering a full supply of snowballs as ammunition.
The second patrol acts as the enemy, launching an attack on the fortress and aiming snowballs at its defenders. The defenders likewise attempt to hit the attackers with snowballs. Any scout struck by a snowball is considered “dead” and withdraws from the game. The number of attackers should generally be 2 times greater than the defenders. After a quarter of an hour, the attack ends, and victory is awarded to the side that, after counting the casualties on both sides, has a greater number of survivors than the opposing side.
