In my campaign the way the PCs and their party fought changed as the campaign progressed. At the start they tended to be very cautious and would happily flee if faced with significant opposition. Later on (pretty much after Major Po became the commanding officer) it went completely the other way and they would stand and fight just about everything. In fact Po tended to go for total overkill, ordering his men to aggressively annihilate any opposition that his definition found to be "armed" (I recall that he once ordered that a civilian be shot for holding a pointy stick in an aggressive manner). I think that the increased aggressiveness of the party was due to several factors:

1: They ended up having a very good track record so morale tended to be high and skill levels were also high.

2: They ended up being very well armed and equipped.

3: The Blanket (those in Po's favour no longer faced permanent impairment or even death assuming most of their body remained after a firefight).
