What have been decisive weapons?
We all know of the greek fallanx against the persians, the english longbow against the french and the bayonette against the scots, a lesser known is the goedendag from the flemish for example, I am kinda interested of what new weaponry or tactics turned the tide of battle, why, when, and where. Modern, ancient, future, anything.

Combined Arms

Technological advances: bronze, iron, gunpowder, the automatic machine-gun (ie gatling), aircraft armored vehicles to mention a few.
The unusual use of different weapons are another story methinks

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

Covers only the last 60 years and has a slightly different theme but maybe you will find this of some use.
