Who said there wasn’t drama in the BOM?!? Here are a few of my favorites:

  • 10- Night Attack — While enemy is asleep, sneak inside their city (Alma 62:23)
  • 9- Bait and Bash — Use kids to attract attack, and then beat them down from behind (Alma 56:30)
  • 8- Now You See me, Now You Don’t — Split your army in two divisions, hide and wait for the enemy to get in between (Alma 43:52)
  • 7- No Soup For You! — Lay siege to the city and intercept the provisions (Alma 57:10)
  • 6- Improv Everywhere — Knock off main guy, put on his clothes and impersonate him, make off with the goods (1 Nephi 4:7-11)
  • 5- Drunk ‘n Dash — Get guards so drunk they pass out, then bolt (Mosiah 22:7-10)
  • 4- Come Out and Fight Like a Man — Decoy opposing army out of key city, then sack it (Alma 58:21, 52:24)
  • 3- Have Some More Wine… — Send strong libations to guards. Once they’re out, slip in and arm the prisoners (Alma 55:8-16)
  • 2- Midnight Javelin Toss — While enemy sleeps, sneak into tent and toss a spear into him (doesn’t work if you’re angry) (Alma 51:34, 62:36)
  • 1- Perfidy 101 — Make a secret surrender pact with opposing army to become second in command, poison the general, return home, stab the king, marry the queen! (Alma 47)
