Advice for the Evil Overlord:

I will build machines which simply fail when over-loaded, rather than wiping out all nearby henchmen in an explosion or setting off a chain reaction. I will do this by using devices known as "surge protectors".

Advice for the Starship Captain:

I will never send the infantry down on missions that are better suited for orbital bombardment.

Advice for the Bad Auxiliary Character (Legion of Doom Troops):

When you are fighting intruders, do not fight them quietly, but yell "Intruder!" while you still have breath.

Advice for the Good Auxiliary Character (Innocent Bystander):

Never purposely investigate the Hero in order to learn his true identity. Success will get you kidnapped by the Evil Overlord.

Further Evil (Advice for the Evil Empress):

Male Sidekicks are almost always corruptible with a wink and a nod, or charmable by a simple spell or potion, at least until the crucial encounter with the Hero, at which time they should be safely entombed somewhere far from the action.

Murphy's Laws of Combat:

• Negative expectations yield negative results. Positive expectations yield negative results.
• The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: (a.) When you're ready for them; (b.) When you're not ready for them.
• Precision bombing is normally accurate to within plus/minus one mile.
• Friendly fire isn't.
• Tolerances accumulate unidirectionally toward maximum difficulty.
