Rule Book Articles are available only to members, but you can purchase article downloads.
This article explains that the problem of the relative size of force, that is, the number of our supporters, is a complicated topic. The relative size of forces are easily miscalculated because we know our resources much better than those of others. The result is that we overestimate what we can do. The result is costly conflict where even the "winner" can lose.
