* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob rushes the enemy by himself without fear of death or any kind of plan, but this is a distraction planned out by his superiors who use his charge to get the drop on the enemy. However, Bob did not know about this plan and the 'distraction thing' was XanatosSpeedChess on the part of his superiors.

** The results of the battle were decided by fan voting even though the enemy's forces are outclassed and their general's leadership skill is sub par. The author thought this trope would be the best way to justify Alice losing.

* '''Double Subverted''': Bob constantly talks about how he can't wait to fight, putting him at odds with Alice. When the time for the battle arrives, Bob decides that it's a better idea to stick to the plan. A minute later, he decides that waiting is boring and charges ahead anyway.

* '''Averted''': Bob is a well-trained soldier who doesn't want to die and as a result, spends most of the battle crouched behind cover.

* '''Reconstructed''': Bob is a distraction. By running forward and screaming his head off, he attracts attention away from the main force. If the enemy sees through this ploy and ignores him, Bob has orders to accomplish some other objective. Thanks to his charging force, his team's objective is fulfilled but Bob is still "stupid as hell" for volunteering for such an assignment.

** Bob isn't screwing up anybody's plan because there was never a plan to screw up in the first place-Charlie and Alice's idea of a plan was to simply go to where the enemies were with only a vague idea of what to do, and were planning on figuring out the details as they went along, after they got there. Bob sees the futility of this and decides that he might as well speed up the process.

* '''Downplayed''': Bob organizes a group of soldiers to infiltrate the enemy base, but doesn't recognize the fact that none of the soldiers are specialists in infiltration or stealth.
