Falange: Spanish word for 'phalanx,' a military combat formation of ancient times in which foot soldiers formed a tight square with shields and spears overlapping. Also a fascist political party organized in Spain in the 1930s that was instrumental in overthrowing the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. This was the only official party allowed in Spain under the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, who ruled the nation from 1939 until his death in 1975.

Excerpt from Sun Tzu's The Art of War as paraphrased by Petty Officer 2nd Class Bruno Puglisi of Brannigan's Brigands:
When you're in enemy territory and they don't know you're there, just play it cool and stay laid back. Then, when the time is right, you hit the rat bastards with everything you got while they've still got their heads up their keisters.
