Actually, ideally there should be no honor on the battlefield at all... The best general is he who can win the battle before it even starts - the resulting fight is a slaughter, not at all honorable.

Let's put it this way: if I were to have a choice between fighting fairly and honorable, or fighting sneaky and underhanded, I'll choose the latter option. The reason is simple: fighting honorable means giving the enemy a chance to win; the objective of a battle is to win, and NOT give the enemy a chance. Any other option is stupid. And if you don't believe me, try reading Sun Tzu...
