I cannot detach the two rules (horizontal and vertical). I just one

Quote of the Week: "The general, unable to control his irritation, will 
launch his men to the assault like swarming ants, with the result that 
one-third of his men are slain, while the town still remains untaken. 
Such are the disastrous effects of a siege." --Chapter 3 in Sun Tzu's 
The Ancient Art of War (Translated by Lionel Giles)
