Young Avoca watched Guernsey getting killed from a distance, if they had a stronger bond it's quite possible he would try something like younger, weaker 1/2 Fourways briefly attacked HB and got his attention leaving only Ginger with the other 4ways.

Or how that Addo Boy tried to save his brother, attacking Mono from behind, briefly.

Or the most well-known and impressive case of Mr.T with the Majingis, savagely attacking one of the enemies and only retreating when he was ganged up by 2.

In a 2v2, I think that if the losing coalition is still well bonded and aren't pushovers, chances are big that even after being split and 1/2 caught, the other will return to try to save his parter.

A recent example would be the last PCM-Ndhzenga clash, when the PCM turns back and split the Ndhzenga, if they caught one, I doubt the other wouldn't try something to help once he realizes what's happening.

The Addo Boys situation was hard to watch, made even more so because of what you mentioned, the one returning to try and help his brother. I will remain convinced that the remaining S Avoca was with his brother in his final moments, given his condition and injuries right after he disappeared. I also believe that so long as they are within ear shot of a given situation, none of the three main powerhouses in Sabi Sands (Nwas, PCMs, and Gijimas) would stand by as their brother was being attacked, if they could hear it, they would absolutely respond. That is what always surprised me about the Mjejane situation. I am of the impression that at least one brother was near-by, and the third was off mating, but possibly was also within ear shot. If true, it is surprising, as I would always have expected those boys to respond in that same way. Reply
