A war in which forces do not confront each other in
direct combat with the
full strength of their teams, but instead aim to wear each other down over a period of time using tactics such as
guerilla warfare, sabotage and other dishonourable means of combat.
The war is a war which will not necessarily be won by superior skill but by patience and skillful resource management.
