For the last many episodes we have been making our way through Clausewitz's lessons concerning defense. It has been a comprehensive study, looking at all levels of action when it comes to defensive warfare, from such diverse topics as favorable terrain to understanding the momentum and rhythm of battle. In this episode, we bring all of these concepts together and look at the big picture, on how they mesh together into strategies that are effective and efficient. Join Malark as we close out our study of strategic defense when we see it actively in the Defense of a Theatre

However, much like with our plan itself, it is best that we assume they will change in importance. Preparing for this helps us manage the shifting battlefield conditions. Of course it is best to have our priorities obscured as to move indirectly against our opponent, turning the odds in our favor. Knowing this will help us decide whether we seek a quick conclusion or try to draw our match out.
