Problem

As the number grew excessively, Robin Hood is not able to sustain the needs of his group of Merrymen to revolt against the sheriff.

(Basis: Robin and his men are capable on forming an alliance with the barons for them to defeat the Sheriffs.)

III. Objective

To develop a strategy that would re-establish and achieve their goal of removing Sheriff from authority in Nottingham
