There are 70 agents on each side and the blue force is stationed in a semi-circle 25 units away from its flag in the upper right corner of the battlefield. Red s tactic -which derives solely from the personality found by the GA to be best suited for this mission-is to exploit a few red agents at the front of the advancing red force, using them to split apart blue s forces in order to temporarily weaken the center region of blue s defense. 

Nard 5210 (SS.11 and AS.11). A Fr line-of-sight wire-guided battlefield missile that can be fired from aircraft, vehicles and ships. The SS.ll is a surface-to-surface version, and the AS. 11 is a similar air-to-surface version... 

The ZOE cement is easy to mix and a greater amount of powder can be incorporated into this cement (5 1 by mass) than any other, where even 4 1 by mass is unusual. Because the ZOE cement is sensitive to moisture it can be formulated to have a long working time under normal room conditions (23 °C, relative humidity 50 %) and a rapid set once placed in the warm and moist conditions of the mouth. This is a considerable clinical advantage, making it convenient to use. The cement can be used in a war pack for use on the battlefield. Nevertheless, sensitiveness to humidity can give rise to problems in use under tropical conditions. 

Orthochlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) is the most commonly used irritant for riot control purposes. Chloracetophenone (CN) is also used in some countries for this purpose in spite of its higher toxicity. A newer agent is dibenzoxazepine (CR) with which there is little experience. Arsenical smokes (sternutators) have in the past been used on the battlefield. Apart from their lachrymatory action they also provoke other effects, e.g., bron-choconstriction and emesis, and are some times referred to as vomiting agents. 

DM was first produced during World War I. Adamsite was not toxic enough for the battlefield, but it proved to be too drastic for use against civilian mobs ...

A Danish legend says that elder sprang from the blood of a slain countryman. Dwarf elder (Sambucus ebulus) is said to grow near ancient battlefields where much blood has been shed. The species name ebulus means "to bubble up." The belief was that the blood of soldiers bubbled up from the earth. The plant does turn very red in the fall and, when it dies down, it leaves a red stain upon the ground and then disappears until the next spring. 

Pennants of silver waved and streamed, lazy banners unfurled Sudden splendors of sabres gleamed, lightning javelins were hurled. There in our awe we crouched and saw with our wild, uplifted eyes. Charge and retire the hosts of fire in the battlefield of the skies. 

V-series agents have never been used on the battlefield. They have been used in a very limited way by terrorists to assassinate individuals. 

Minimal information about these agents or potential research programs concerning these agents has been published in the unclassified literature. There is no information to indicate that these agents were ever stockpiled or have ever been used on the battlefield. 

These materials include arsine and reactive materials such as arsenide salts and alloys of arsenic that decompose to produce arsine. They are first generation warfare agents that were evaluated during World War I but have never been utilized on the battlefield. These materials are commercially available but are relatively difficult to disperse. 

Although this class of agents is considered obsolete on the modern battlefield, arsine is still considered a significant threat as a potential improvised weapon that could be utilized in urban warfare.
