He oblique attacked the fuck outta people

He faked a retreat to pull the French into a valley were hes Artillery obliterated the French, reformed his line infantrymen and smashed the disorganized French army, since the French were trying to chase what they thought was a retreating army

I KNEW that was a valid troop orginazion

maybe I should actually look this stuff up

Works in total war

I'll have to try it then. Total War doesn't usually respond well to historic strategies

what do you mean "throwing more men at it" isn't a real strategey????

Frederick was always severely outnumbered, so the oblique attack only really worked for him, due to Prussian discipline...He had the most disciplined well trained army on the planet, that would hold formation and reload there muskets faster than the opposition

So most of his line would be much thinner and weaker then the enemies, and he had to rely on his soldiers standing there ground and not routing against insane odds, as his superior drill and officers coordinated quick maneuvers...Frederick relyed on discipline and out maneuvering his enemies...So he could push a large chunk of his army into the left flank of the Austrians or French, and break them, while maintaining a thin line holding on for dear life in the center and right

hey guys remember when sweden epicly won against the hre with 70k men compared to 546k

`The emeritus Pope then praises the work of John Paul II who with theological firmness sought to stem that dangerous drift. In an encyclical of Pope Wojtyla in 1993, Ratzinger explains, it was emphasized that "there are actions that can never become good. There are values ​​which it is never permissible to sacrifice in the name of an even higher value and which are also above the preservation of physical life. God, it is even more than physical survival ".`

`That of the last Pope, Benedict XVI is an attack on the Church of Bergoglio. To everything that Bergoglio represents.

[...] "began the spiritual collapse of moral theology, with pedophilia becoming allowed and convenient". "I have always wondered," continues Ratzinger, "how in this situation young people could go towards the priesthood and accept it with all its consequences. The widespread collapse of priestly vocations in those years and the enormous number of resignations from the ecclesiastical state were a consequence of all these processes ". A process that continued into the 70s and 80s, with pedophilia becoming a real "burning issue".

Benedict analyzes the situation in Germany above all, and then moves on to the United States too, extending his gaze to the entire West. At that time, he explains, the idea took root that the good no longer existed, "but only what at the moment and depending on the circumstances is relatively better". A crisis of "dramatic forms" was underway.`

The Soviets invaded, and Islamism took over

University created communists, communists created an islamist backlash, islamist backlash destroyed the universities

It's the circle of life
