The Art of Wargaming

When conducting an invasion, it is important to consider the risks involved with such operations. There are many factors including the sum of physical and mental powers and the cause of increase, or decrease, of power for the advancing army. These factors are usually not static, so it is of utmost significance to pay attention to the changing situation. There is also the issue of our follow through, when to press our advantage and when to pause so we can regroup. We also must consider the ultimate end that our invasion wishes to accomplish. In this episode, Malark takes a detailed look at the best ways to conduct an invasion.

In the time in which Clausewitz wrote "On War", going on the offensive involved no small amount of risk. Between the rise of dominance in the field of artillery and new and brutal ways of preparing a killing field, going on the attack meant being vulnerable to all matter of calamity.

There are many reasons to mount an attack, from the wholesale destruction of our opponents to the acquisition of secondary objectives, each of them having their own hazards and considerations for success. Yaga Malark delves into this simple yet complicated subject to bring you the best methods for offensive variations.

Many elements go into an offensive strategy. There are the issues of lengthening our supply lines, the capitalization of momentum while maintaining economy of force, and the precision and timing that allow us to prevail over our defensive opponent. Time is not a friend to the attacker, so our actions need to be swift and decisive. When seeking our military aims, we will often come up against an enemy army. While destruction of the enemy army may not be the primary goal, we must still be prepared to deal with such resistance. In this episode, Malark takes a close look at how Clausewitz prepares us to conduct an offensive battle.
