I want a detailed analysis from every ruler about Clausewitz's document linked above. Let's see if he knows how to make war or if he's just a buffoon.

Thank you, Napoleon.

You'd best keep that greeny blue crayon handy. These are exciting times we live in.

I learned absolutely nothing of value from that set of selected quotes that is appropriate to the game we are playing. He talks a lot about how to train your troops and build their spirits, but that's not relevant here.

No surprise; military strategy is beyond the comprehension of a Heather.
