==Attacks== A '''feint attack''' is designed to draw defensive action towards the point under assault. It is usually used as a diversion to force the enemy to concentrate more manpower in a given area, to weaken the opposing force in another area.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Faoil, Foil, Saber, and ΓpΓ©e Fencing: Skills, Safety, Operations, and Responsibilities|last=Maxwell|first=Garret|publisher=Penn State Press|year=1994|pages=48}}</ref> Unlike a related diversionary maneuver, the [[Demonstration (military)|demonstration]], a feint involves actual contact with the enemy.
