Simple Tactics for Simple Folk

Or perhaps you'd have to move the focus to a theatre level instead of battlefield level. Bypass the defenses with a flanking force which is several miles away from the main line, that sort of thing. Not very Total War.

When they do that, they might as well get rid of the uh.. Total War part.

Call it hmm... Modern Warfare: Total Nukes =D

Not to go excessively off topic, but this is a little confusing. I was thinking of something like the operational manoeuvre warfare you read about from the European 17th-19th centuries.

(Quick, say something relevant.) Hey, you know that reinforcing enemy armies on the battlefield come from the same directions as how they are shown on the strategic map? It comes in especially handy for castle assaults, when you can deploy all around the map and eliminate the reinforcements piecemeal, before they have a chance to form/join up.

Oh you mean like in Rome and Medieval 2, where it would actually work but then they somehow decided it was crap and abandoned it for Shogun 2 again?
