in episode 2 you see the running figure, which is clearly armed with a british rifle, why should I have engaged it?

 

I didn't recognize the rifle, but it sure looked like a Brit. In fact, the entire scene is constructed to provide the cues to a modern viewer that if I had fired it would have been Friendly Fire. They might be trying to re-enact World War I, but the scripting uses modern mentality.

An enemy combatant can always pick up and use your weapons especially in a close range battle in a forest. I based my choice on the fact that I was not certain if it was a friend or foe so hold fire sights are upon the unknown so as soon as he becomes known then you go. Pretty sure that "friendly fire" has been a problem for a very long time the name(Friendly Fire) is more modern true but not the fact that it might occur and would be something to avoid if at all possible. Do you think that a WWI solider would want to accidentally shoot a friendly solider? Of course not did they have some form of fire discipline of course they did . The old term is fratricide.Therefore I disagree on your opinion about the modern cue. The point was to test ones discipline do you attack when uncertain or when certain? An attack should be committed to when the objective is clear if not you may be causing harm to your side rather than good.
