I've heard some talk floating around lately about how people have learned the importance of concentration and local superiority. Is this at the strategic or tactical level? I really can't see how it could be at either level.

Was one of those people.
Meant at the tactical battle level.
Meant if I'm fighting and winning and concentrated on a part of my enemy, don't have to swallow him whole, can defeat him in detail.
Of course this is dynamic, if he gets most of his army a hold of me than I'm cooked.
But I try to manoeuver to avoid that.
Experienced so far a lot of linear behavior with the AI armies, so if I chew up the enemy on one end, then the rest of his army has to march to me, and I can respond to that. Doing Marathon works a lot: strong wings, weaker center.
“You know the sound of thunder Mrs. Garret."
"Ofcourse"
"Can you imagine that sound if I asked you to?"
"Yes I can Mr. Hickok."
"Your husband and me had this talk, and I told him to head home to avoid a dark result. But I didn't say it in thunder. Ma'am, listen to the thunder.”
Hmm, should try that. Thanks!

candidgamera,
Operating with a weak center will work against the ai, but against human opponents I had to give up that tactic. My center would get blown away by a rush. If you can collapse the wings in quickly enough, it can work, but it's pretty tricky to do successfully.
