Was rereading some books the other day and I want to say one of the Field Manuals mentioned a Mechwarrior who painted the front of his ‘mech in the opfor colors while keeping his back painted in his unit scheme. While wikiwalking about false flag operations, I had to wonder if the Ares Conventions or any current military rules have any rulings against perfidy.
For the unaware, perfidy is the act of attacking while under the colors of the enemy or a neutral nation. Wearing false colors is ok, but according to the Geneva Conventions, the moment you fire it’s a war crime. Are there any rules in the succession wars or onward outlawing perfidy? Were there even any in the Ares Conventions? If so I can think of some units in deep doodoo...
