BOAC
Sorry if my post was not clear to you. I was agreeing with CM, but took issue with the idea of worrying (or thinking about) whether your opponent has a fair chance. I would always want my gang to be thinking carefully about that in order that the other guy NEVER got a fair chance!
I come from a green background, and would always choose to sneak up on an enemy in their beds rather than ones who were wide awake and alert.
