No, wait, here me out on this.
If two groups just spend the day shooting at each other, there will be heavy casualties on both sides, right? (For the sake of argument, let's assume this is true).
If one group them decides to charge with bayonets, one of four things can happen.
- Group with bayonets gets wiped out
- Group getting charged gets wiped out
- Group getting charged runs away
- Group getting charged surrenders
I think in all four of these cases, total casualties would be smaller than the original.
