This type of PvP can be highly competitive and players may need an impartial judge to enforce the rules. Time to battle, you can fight them sword to sword, bow to bow, bombard them with potions, or run around like a headless chicken and hope they starve first. Whatever you do, make sure you win!
Dodge his attacks with your lightning reactions or butter fingers and stab by rapidly clicking your mouse's left click button Tip: It is best to wait until the sword cools down until you hit again. If you have a shield, use your right mouse button to block attacks, sprint at opponents and hit whilst falling for critical hits! If you are not touching the block under you, and you are in a cobweb, you count as falling, giving you critical hits! Then again, it is also hard to move when doing this, so keep that in mind.
Spamming block and hit at the same time will hit and block at the same time, enabling you to deal damage while taking less, at the cost of reduced mobility. If you practice, practice, and practice, nothing will stop you and a well equipped character! Walk in circles around the player rapidly hitting them, and they'll never be able to hit you!
This is called strafing. Or try a direct approach and spam left click and W to create a combo. It is also an advantage to get them stuck on a wall and strafe around them, they will be blown up into the air and it is harder to hit someone below you rather than at the same height. If you are in a tight place where strafing does not work, try to spam right and left click. This will reduce the damage you get, but still allow you to damage your opponent. If you have better equipment than your attacker, you will likely be able to kill them. At this point, there is no better time to give it your all.
Utilize anything and everything at your disposal to destroy your opponent - any method that Minecraft provides, you should exploit. Combat-logging, hacking, and other out-of-game methods are unacceptable. You never want to be stuck in battle without a weapon. Therefore, extensive measures must be taken to ensure that equipment can be readily replaced in a fight, such as enchantments, extras, and consistent resupplying. Hitting an opponent, or any player in general, directly on the head with three splash potions of Instant Harming II will, without exception, kill them.
However, due to the range of the potion, you may end up killing yourself! Run if there is almost no chance of victory, using ender pearls and hopefully a Speed Potion. While running does carry an inherent danger to it, it is probably your only hope at that point. If you are in your base, consider whether running will be a good strategy,as then they will most likely raid and pillage your base, and come back repeatedly to continue their pillaging.
Unless Factions is on your server. Fleeing is also known as 'kiting' or to 'kite'. If you decide that fighting while outnumbered isn't an option, you can kite to a safe location to avoid being killed. This may sound confusing, but say that you are attacked. If someone intervenes in your fight, and attacks the enemy, then you and the new fighter can kill the enemy. When that is finished, then you will fight the new opponent and possibly lose. That is why it is called Pig's Food, because instead of possibly losing to your hated foe, you chose to possibly get eaten AKA defeated by the person intervening, who is the pig.
However, if the "Pig" does not attack you, you now owe a debt to that person, which is also a way to get "eaten"-through the need to repay them. Now this may sound like a weak statement, but hear this. Suppose someone attacks you, and there is no escape possible for you. You hate the guy who is killing you and the fact that you aren't combat savvy enough to fight back. If there is honestly no escape, try to hit your would be assailant.
Hey, at least you hurt him, right? However, keep in mind that if he hits you with a sprint attack and a melee combo, which is characterized by an extremely quick draining away of health and rapid FOV shaking, you will be unable to deal any damage at all. To stop this, make a point-blank bow shot to give yourself a chance to deal some damage. Thankfully for you, this combo effect is not achievable post Even though they deal no damage at all, snowballs are powerful weapons in PvP. If you happen to be low on health and another player with a good sword is coming after you, pelt him with snowballs to keep him away.
You might be able to knock him off a cliff or into lava. Maybe you could even break his armor for an easy kill. This does not work in 1. This is a type of PvP with a relative small map size, should no more than x blocks. Instead of players gathering materials through the terrain, they choose a profession at the start of the game and get a set of gear, each profession is different and some may have status effects. Players should be in adventure mode and have keep inventory, except for certain professions.
A type of PvP where there are multiple sides with at least 5 players and a fort on each team. The goal of the game is to reach a certain spot s in the fort, usually a pressure plate, button to win, or capture wool or something representing a flag. There are usually split roles of each team which are attackers, defenders and commander s. The map size is somewhat big. Players have pre-given gears and keep inventory, each team also has a spawn point and players will respawn there if they are defeated. Make sure you keep it balanced! Whether or not it's in Multiplayer; practice shooting moving targets.
This can train how well you hit, strafe and can sharpen your reflexes. When engaging in a fight, the regular reflex? Charge the enemy, spam that mouse. Now, this is pretty average, but there is a smarter way to do this. Simple, but effective as a tactic. This should reduce the damage you take by quite an amount, while still being able to deal sufficient damage to your opponent.
Equipment saves lives, mostly your own. Keep some snowballs with you to knock enemies back. It also knocks them back and gives you more space from him. Most of them will try to use their oh-so-powerful sword and charge you, back off skirmish. Take note that snowballs will also damage armor, so if you see someone in full Gold Armor for its Enchantibility, don't be afraid to pelt them with Snowballs.
Snowballs are cheap, easy-to-mass-produce armor killers! Do not pass up this attack!
Keep snow golems in your base for this! Unfortunately… it takes a little less than 4 chests of them to destroy diamond armor. The value of this on gold armor, however, is amazing. PvP isn't exactly always standing still in one spot while hitting someone with a sword, and never really should be.
Circle strafing around your enemies can really save your bacon, especially if they have diamond weapons. Because the player attacking you needs to aim ahead with the bow , since there is a delay before the arrow strikes, it can disorient them and you can avoid hits much easier. To make it even harder for your opponent to hit you, use potions of speed. However, this should be avoided as much as possible when near obstacles like walls, or hazards like lava or cactus.
Most people don't strafe, that's your advantage. If you are with a group or faction of people and have a reputation on the server, use this to your advantage. Create a fake base near the spawn Be sure to make it look convincing, like a low sky base or an obsidian above-ground base. Do not store anything in this base and make a trap inside the base, like a Piston Pitfall trap or Button-activated trap. People will come for this base assuming it is your real base It may not always work. This works mainly on faction servers, but if you are good enough at designing these you can make it compatible with a non-Faction PvP server.
Once they fall in the trap and die, you are able to take their items. This is a great source of money, items, and PvP supplies. Most PvP servers are unruly and free-for-all situations. Now what's the best thing you can get? What's the best tool? Juggernaut-like armor and some brains mixed in! First, you'll need to find iron or diamonds. Watch out for people, because they'll most likely be on the same track. Second, brew potions such as strength, health, regen, and invisibility. Enchant the armor for maximum Protection.
Enchant the sword to maximum Sharpness with Fire Aspect, Knockback, etc. Remember, Sharpness is the only generic damage booster. A useful PvP only fighter is the Juggernaut Supreme build with a powerful bow and a few arrows. If you have enough players on your team at least 15 you can use techniques like the one below. Use this when attacking a base. The reasoning for this technique is that the enemy will believe that the middle who falsely attacks the enemy is a weakness therefore counter attack towards the middle giving.
When they do you can lure them away from their allies and defense into your own plotted familiar terrain. One can also add some more reinforcements who charge into the enemy base after some enemies are lured out to do the actual attack after many enemies went away, it should be easy if done correctly as the enemy base won't have much enemies within. Many competitive PvPers can click fast, to increase the amount of times they hit a player. Some ways of clicking fast include: Depending on the server's hit delay 20 ticks by default you will be able to hit an opponent more times within a second.
Butterfly and Drag clicking may not be allowed on some servers. Despite it got removed, it is still possible in Bedrock Edition so practice that in the Bedrock edition. Block hitting is when a player hits their attack button and block place button at the same time. When a player blot hits it allows them to take less damage than if they weren't block hitting. This will increase knockback for an opponent. Block hitting will not work in Minecraft 1. W-tapping is a technique where you tap W right after you hit the person you are fighting.
W-tapping resets your sprint and increases the knockback you deal to the player you are fighting. W-tapping does not increase reach, though many people think that it does. Aim plays a big part in pvp. Reach is measured from your head to the enemy hitbox. If you aim at the head you will get the most amount of reach because the reach is measured from your head to the enemy hitbox. The distance between your head and the enemy's head is 3 blocks and the distance between your head and your opponent's legs is more than that.
Minecraft's reach is 3 blocks meaning you will not get the first hit if you aim for the legs while your opponent aims at your head. Redstone is a vital skill to learn. The ability to make unseen and creative traps allows for the killing of enemies whose diamond-plated armor might be otherwise unstoppable. For example, the first thing enemies would normally do is take out the water around the base and replace it with lava.
If that happens, and you have a bud to confirm that water is still there, TNT is supposed to be set off under a pile of sand, with water to block out the damage to the environment be careful using it without water, you'll probably get more damage done than you bargained for and torches to break the sand.
Maybe even not add torches to suffocate the enemies, but the explosion will be reduced. Another use is emergency switches. Put an emergency button to pull in the blocks under you with sticky pistons and the enemy will fall into lava. Note that this is guaranteed to waste the enemy's armor, not to kill him. Use a button, not a lever! Stay around to ensure that the enemy cannot teleport to his faction home. Make walls layers deep if you want. This is not a death trap. This is meant to give you enough time to escape. Not always will enemies come via broken brick walls. They might just come through the front door.
Hide your entrances and fool enemies with fake entrances. Make sure all your team knows of them. Players in diamond armor might come and kill you and raid your chests.
You are in iron, huh? Shovels are your weapon here. Note that you might not get their loot. Cram dispensers in the walls of a tight hallway, load them with damage potions, lead a rapid clicker to them, place a switch to restrain it, and then put sticky pistons in the walls to trap people in separate rooms. Nothing, not even Heavy weapon dudes with so much as Protection X not that that enchantment is available without editing the NBT file can survive. One may also unleash monsters in there once the opponent is in, or use other armor penetrating methods. A clock circuit leading to pistons can render the trap unable to break out without explosions or maybe tons of liquids, if your team has really great redstone scientists, these can also be set up.
You can melee other players, but you'll need a fast clicking pace and some conditions to fight. An enchanted bow is the best against an armored player. Regular bows work as well. The only case where you have no choice but to melee is when you're out of ammunition or if marksmanship isn't your thing. Even at point blank range, a bow could be a better choice, fully charged it sends a critical hit the power of a diamond sword! Whilst in the middle of a multi-player PVP standing around and checking out the loot from the guy you just killed is just being a burden on your group, having to protect you and in most cases they won't protect you, most likely getting you killed and losing the loot you just got and your original possessions.
Although a bit of scenario analysis is also needed i. Just grab whatever loot there is and continue the fight. Although an escape tunnel is a great idea, your enemies might follow you through. To combat this, you should have a lot of dirt at hand. Simply block up the top part of the tunnel.
Don't block the bottom, as placing blocks on the bottom lets your enemy shoot arrows. It usually takes longer to dig through the dirt than placing it. Plus, this can easily frustrate your enemies heavily. An alternative is to have dirt ceilings in the tunnel with sand or gravel on top, so if someone comes, you can break the dirt to drop the gravel or sand, which can be much easier. Using torches to support multiple columns with one block is suggested, as it can take 1 block broken to cause a huge blockade. Alternatively, make a 1-block deep ditch in the ground.
When your enemies come, fill the pit with soul sand or water, slowing them. Again, this will create an ENORMOUS amount of rage in your opponents, as they usually will have to get through a long period of block removal before they mobilize. But, this can make your enemies more enraged and chase you harder. Be sure to block the enemy with pistons when using this method. If someone is pummeling you with arrows and you cannot dodge them, block them by right click holding your sword, or shield in recent versions.
This will reduce incoming damage by half. Block in between shots while trying to get closer to them. You might have iron armor and a pickaxe mining in a well known mine, but you're not very hard to defeat against someone without armor but a stone sword, which is the first weapon people settle for. Keep a sword on you at all times and hopefully you can retaliate, plus, keep armor, even if it is basic leather or even the fragile gold armor, so if someone does attack you, you can still live to turn around and kill your attempted killer. This will protect you from explosions and burning.
On a PvP server, you never know where people are. Even if you are far away from spawn someone may be spying on you, stalking you, waiting to attack or worse. Never think you are alone, always assume someone is near you and will attack you. Keep your fingers ready to whip out your sword. Do not trust anyone.
If there is an online map, use it to track locations of people. Stay away from other guys. If they offer to let you in their faction just if you do something very simple for them, there may be something underhanded about the deal. They might kick you out or even kill you immediately if they give no notice they want you on servers with the Factions plugin for Bukkit. Be ready for that just as ready as when attacking.
Assume that everyone will stab you in the back. Also on some servers there are teleport commands. On a PvP server, if you get a random teleport request from someone you don't know, never accept it! They only randomly teleport to look for a victim to raid and kill. Even if you kill them, they can teleport back and camp there. If someone wants to fight in a 1-versus-1 face-off, be careful if you accept.
They may bring someone along to "watch. In addition to the extremely thick layer, smartly add multiple types of layers to your wall: Also used for the roof and perhaps floor of the wall. Don't put them too outwards. Another variation is to use tons of sand and gravel, expensive to get normally not to use against elytras, but to fill down the wall that the enemies broke, causing a huge delay. If they use torches, the massive amounts of dropped items if it is built up to the height limit, or as high as possible if the server has mods may crash the server and undo their work, if they charges in while it's lagging, they may get buried!
As they are mined with different tools, enemies must switch tools constantly most of them won't bring shovels, shears, and axes at all! Fill any other space in that layer with obsidian. One can put it around a spawner to maximize its potency, or lure some exotic monsters in and lock them wither cages. When the enemies break the surrounding walls, an array of monsters which spawns while they are near and mining through the other layers difficultly will flood out!
As long as obsidian can't be blown up due to plugins, these shouldn't damage your walls.
All other traps can be used if one knows how to! A good combination of these layers will make the perfect wall that barely any enemies can get in. Enemies may often found this wall so hard to pass that they give up, or to see the intelligence of you and your allies and have second thoughts about attacking. Also note to use similar techniques about the floor beneath the wall, make them out of slowing blocks, damaging blocks and traps such as pits or landmines and use them in tandem with the wall's layers will furthermore enhance the defense.
Usually you'll die alone from fighting a player with a better advantage than you, but this can be a different story altogether if you have wolves or golems with you. Wolves will follow and protect you, and unless your enemy is smart enough to set up a hidden advantage or just blatantly stupid, will not bother attacking you because most know they will die from a pack of wolves attacking them. Even though a wolf has no armor and only has an attack strength of 4 life points, a pack of them can still pack a punch.
Iron golems are a good choice as well as your attacker might accidentally hit the iron golem , in which case it will attack them, and even diamond equipment is second to the strength and health of an Iron Golem. After one of the Golems attacking, the enemy will have to retreat. You do not have to worry about aggravating the iron golem if it is made by you, as Iron golems will never attack their creator. Using snow golems to damage armor excessively and cause huge knockback maybe into lava ia also effective.
Iron golems are neutral mobs and do not attack players unless provoked, and remember to take rotten flesh to heal your wolves. With some pistons and correct spacing, one may be able to push the iron golem and lock them in place so the enemy will get blocked by them and have a higher chance of provoking them. It is recommended to have the best armor, weapons, and items you can in any fight, in order to maximize chances of victory. However, be sure to be as minimalist as possible; doing so will allow for easier inventory management and weapon changing.
Put Unbreaking III on anything you can. This is a good rule of thumb for PvP and Minecraft in general. Make sure your sword has enough durability, or bring a spare. Having your sword break is just downright terrible, especially in a tense match. Put Infinity I on your bow or bring arrows.
If you decide that fighting while outnumbered isn't an option, you can kite to a safe location to avoid being killed. You never want to be stuck in battle without a weapon. Under a combined command headed by Gen. Follow in this order:. One can put it around a spawner to maximize its potency, or lure some exotic monsters in and lock them wither cages.
Or live on the run, without a home base or faction. Raid any unoccupied bases you see and never stop, apart from the evenings when therefore you hide out in somebodies' base when you can find it. There is no problem with living on the run as you can never really be targeted as they do not know where the target is unless they have a map and you can get free loot from raided chests. However, as diamonds are not exactly impossible to find and more people will attempt diamond swords and enchants, staying with this setup is not recommended. Sooner or later, their sheer number will make your PvP a button mash while surviving in a free-for-all becomes luck-based.
Therefore, keep different weapons on you. All this is vital, as the once invincible enchanted diamond armor is now commonplace for any serious PvP player. Let's say you're in a small guerrilla faction. Your members in your faction aren't half bad. However, the only problem is that there are a few people. They don't mine or gather too much, although they are quite skilled. The problem here is that even if they don't die much, they still do. Instead of using people that need supplies, why not make an army that purely just spawns with them? An army of skeletons is best, although zombies work too husks or drowned are better, husks won't burn in sunlight and inflict hunger while drowned may have tridents which deals heavy damage.
If you can, try to get your hands on wither skeletons , that can attack with their stone swords and still give the Wither effect, or better yet, give them bows long forgotten and unneeded so that they can shoot flaming arrows even with unenchanted bows and set the enemy on fire, although this may take more time to wait for them to spawn and transporting them is more difficult. Find a skeleton monster spawner , set up a network of water transportation if you are using wither skeletons, try using lava , bring them to a certain room, with someone in there.
Then, when the time comes and somebody comes to raid the base, unleash them. Such an army does not mine diamonds for you, but even so they're useful by the fact that they're easy to find and easily replaceable. Perhaps your server has a custom spawner of more powerful monsters such as vindicators, if that's so, also use them! Make sure that your enemy won't take advantage of the monster's loot, such as the totem of undying. One can throw a trident enchanted with channeling and loyalty during thunderstorm to cast lightning which makes charged creepers, zombie pigmen and witches.
For armor without protection enchantment or feather falling , it can be falling, fire, drowning, potions, suffocation and certain monster attacking methods such as the evoker. Also by exploiting glitches or using super fast knockback see below , one can trick the enemy so they will be thought as illegal flying or other illegal actions and get kicked, effectively killing them. In other words, exploiting glitches is NOT recommended. Suppose there are only 2 factions, one is evil and one is good or they are neither.
Below are some tutorials for if there are only about factions recommended for only 2 factions and is a very organized player versus player. This could be useful if there happens to be a ranking system on the server. I was very creative with this and it is also recommended for lots of players play at once. I would love for you to put your own ideas on here. It would be good to mark the team you're on on your structures so you don't accidentally wander into an enemy's ship and get yourself killed.
A base made of cobblestone with several chests and beds for allies. A base made of 3 layers of cobblestone and about 50 beds and over chests.
Recommended to have a tree farm. Very small, but easily camouflageable. Do not make this base more than 15 blocks wide, or it will lose its ability to hide. Cave or jungle biomes are your best bet for making this base. To hide its identity more, add leaves and other natural resources around it. You could even add portal entrances to the base, so baddies cannot infiltrate inside the base from outside.
A huge sky base with beds , chests and made of stone bricks with people monitoring the outside with dispenser turrets and other advanced weaponry. The only way for it to be destroyed fast would be lots of TNT. If you wish to mass-produce these, you really should build a cobblestone farm. A medium sized sky base with enough space for troops and lots of storage and requires lots of cobblestone.

Recommended for the guns to be high and blocked off. Recommended to mass-produce everything above. Creates cobblestone with lava and water.
Made of about 3 layers of cobble, with creeper and witch farms or just a lot of chests with these materials in them and dispenser guns. Make sure to have about 10 brewing stands and people operating them, with about beds and chests. Put splash potions of harming, poison, and weakness in the guns, hook up a redstone clock and watch the fireworks. This house is the trap of them all! Make the house look very inviting, iron blocks behind the glass, chests everywhere, and maybe a sign that was "supposed" to be to a friend for a secret entrance.
They walk in the door, see the chests, and open them, only the chests are trapped chests! When they are activated, you can have them shoot arrows, lava, or even TNT! Make sure to add a piston that blocks the door when the chest is opened too! For those experienced with using elytra 1. Try equipping potions if aim is good.
A Knockback II sword is also good if your enemy has the same ideas. Pack a lot of steak and arrows or Infinity. Has Iron Armor enchanted to the max and Diamond Swords.
Guards you and prison cells if you happen to capture your enemies. This can be done with a Factions plugin or through other means. This is when a group attempts to irreparably exterminate members on another group and later destroy or loot all property of said group. These can range from a surprise attack to a formal challenge of two armies, and can have up to hundreds of warriors on either side though this is extremely rare and may cause lag.
In some servers you may be asked to pick a team without knowing who is on it. If you can't hurt them from the outside, hurt them from the inside! Given the high stakes and dangers they routinely face, militaries are inevitably reluctant to change. During World War I, the armies on the Western Front in were fighting in much the same manner as those at Waterloo in , attacking in close-packed formations — despite the emergence of the machine gun and high-explosive artillery.
Millions were slaughtered, year after bloody year, for a few yards of churned-up mud. It is no surprise that historian Alan Clark titled his study of the high command during this conflict The Donkeys. Even the implications of maturing tanks, planes, and the radio waves that linked them were only partially understood by the next generation of military men.
Just as their predecessors failed to grasp the lethal nature of firepower, their successors missed the rise of mechanized maneuver — save for the Germans, who figured out that blitzkrieg was possible and won some grand early victories. They would have gone on winning, but for poor high-level strategic choices such as invading Russia and declaring war on the United States. In the end, the Nazis were not so much outfought as gang-tackled. Nuclear weapons were next to be misunderstood, most monumentally by a U.
But it turned out they were useful only in deterring their use. Which brings us to war in the age of information. Yet most militaries are entering this era with the familiar pattern of belief that new technological tools will simply reinforce existing practices. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the results in Iraq and Afghanistan so painfully demonstrate. The evidence of the last 10 years shows clearly that massive applications of force have done little more than kill the innocent and enrage their survivors.
Networked organizations like al Qaeda have proven how easy it is to dodge such heavy punches and persist to land sharp counterblows. As for human capital, U. In World War I, the failure to grasp the implications of mass production led not only to senseless slaughter, but also to the end of great empires and the bankruptcy of others. The inability to comprehend the meaning of mechanization at the outset of World War II handed vast tracts of territory to the Axis powers and very nearly gave them victory. The failure to grasp the true meaning of nuclear weapons led to a suicidal arms race and a barely averted apocalypse during the Cuban missile crisis.
Today, the signs of misunderstanding still abound. For example, in an age of supersonic anti-ship missiles, the U. Yet Navy doctrine calls for them to engage missile-armed enemies at eyeball range in coastal waters. The oceans of information the systems would generate each day would clog the command circuits so that carrying out even the simplest operation would be a terrible slog.
Air Force, beyond its well-known devotion to massive bombing, remains in love with extremely advanced and extremely expensive fighter aircraft — despite losing only one fighter plane to an enemy fighter in nearly 40 years. Although the hugely costly F turned out to function poorly and is being canceled after enormous investment in its production, the Air Force has by no means given up. Instead, the more advanced F will be produced, at a cost running in the hundreds of billions of dollars. All this in an era in which what the United States already has is far better than anything else in the world and will remain so for many decades.
These developments suggest that the United States is spending huge amounts of money in ways that are actually making Americans less secure, not only against irregular insurgents, but also against smart countries building different sorts of militaries. And the problem goes well beyond weapons and other high-tech items. Civil society movements around the world have taken to networking in ways that have done far more to advance the cause of freedom than the U.
Before the Internet and the World Wide Web, a terrorist network operating cohesively in more than 60 countries could not have existed. Today, a world full of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallabs awaits — and not all of them will fail. If fully embraced, they can lead to a new kind of military — and even a new kind of war. The conflicts of the future should and could be less costly and destructive, with armed forces more able to protect the innocent and deter or defend against aggression. Vast tank armies may no longer battle it out across the steppes, but modern warfare has indeed become exceedingly fast-paced and complex.
Still, there is a way to reduce this complexity to just three simple rules that can save untold amounts of blood and treasure in the netwar age. The greatest problem traditional militaries face today is that they are organized to wage big wars and have difficulty orienting themselves to fight small ones.
The demands of large-scale conflicts have led to reliance on a few big units rather than on a lot of little ones. For example, the Marines have only three active-duty divisions, the U. It is no wonder that the U. Add in the traditional, hierarchical military mindset, which holds that more is always better the corollary belief being that one can only do worse with less , and you get massive approaches to little wars. It is ironic that the U. The Army has incrementally increased the number of brigades — which typically include between 3, and 4, trigger-pullers — from less than three dozen in to almost 50 today.
Yet the evidence is there. For example, beginning in late in Iraq, the U. Then again, perhaps the best example of a many-and-small military that worked against foes of all sizes was the Roman legion. Flanking has quite a pedigree. Flanking also formed a basis for the march up Mesopotamia by U. But something odd happened this time. Instead, Iraqis largely waited until their country was overrun and then mounted an insurgency based on tip-and-run attacks and bombings.
Thus did war cease to be driven by mass-on-mass confrontation, but rather by a hider-finder dynamic. In the Luanda Trial , after "a regularly constituted court" found them guilty of being unlawful mercenaries , three Britons and an American were shot by a firing squad on July 10, Nine others were imprisoned for terms of 16 to 30 years.
