Question 15.69
37. In a sequential duel, why will the first player to act in a truel shoot in the air (if this option is allowed by the rules)? Is this choice optimal if a second player should succeed in firing in the air at the same time?
37.
In the sequential duel, the ^irst player will shoot in the air because if the first player shoots another player, then he or she becomes the lone target for the remaining player. This choice is not optimal if the second player shoots in the air simultaneously. It would be better for Player 1 to shoot Player 3 instead so that Player 3 cannot shoot Player 1.
