  <itunes:subtitle>In our last look at Frederick the Great, Thumbs and Malark examine the concluding remarks of this great mind.  Frederick lays out, in no uncertain terms, the opportunities and advantages that you want to be present when you go to battle.  Likewise, there are many misfortunes that can befall you in war, and even the most accomplished commanders need to be wary of them.  All this and more as we make the best of our downtime.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The episode begins with a brief dive into the rules changes for 9th Edition Warhammer 40k.  The changes are subtle in most cases, but definitely worth going over.  We then transition into looking at the final conclusions of Frederick's book, where he specifies what opportunities present the best odds for joining battle.  Of course, opportunity is nothing without having the advantages to seize them, which he also defines.  Misfortune is a constant comrade in war, however, and a commander must always have contingencies in place to deal with them.  In his final section, Frederick then details the best use of downtime between campaigns; advice that is useful both in the winter time and during pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;As a commander, Frederick was daring and dynamic.  As an author, he was methodical and thorough.  After a brief recap of how to handle armies of different sizes, the hosts of TAOW then move into a larger exploration of location before a deeper examination of oblique tactics.  Any strategy must adapt to the shape of the field, therefore the amount and type of terrain are paramount considerations.  To top it off, for the battle report this week, Malark and Thumbs take a look at an unexpected feather in Frederick's cap.&lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle> It has often been said that the key to victory is surprise.  The aim of every general is to catch your enemy in an unfavorable position that benefits you.  It isn't always the case that we get the jump on our foe.  Occasionally, when we are outclassed or outmaneuvered or if the game type demands it, we are forced into a fixed defensive position.  In this week's episode, Thumbs and Malark explore the tactics required for a successful attack on a fixed position as well as what to do if you find yourself on the defense.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;A siege is a messy business for all sides involved.  Brutal close-quarters fighting and high casualty rates on both sides make the prospect a daunting one, regardless of whether attacking or defending.  The tactics for these two roles differ greatly even though they fight the same battle.  The attacker wants to end it quickly and with as little loss of life as possible.  The defender wants to hold out and delay, hoping to break their assailant by force or nerves.  In this episode, Thumbs and Malark examine what it takes to storm fixed positions of any sort, as well as what is required if you are called to defend them.&lt;/p&gt;

Between all this, the invisible yet undeniable tide of war flows, crushing some and carrying others away.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;No plan survives the first encounter with the enemy, and yet there must be a purpose to a battle to give it structure.  Whether we be attacking or defending, all of our movements must be done with certainty and forethought, as armies can be large and ungainly things.  Yet within this maneuver, there is peril, for when we move against the enemy we often leave ourselves vulnerable.  In this episode, we explore movement with a purpose when considered against the concept of the "River" and the ever present danger zones lurking on the field.&lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>There are many qualities required of a general if they are to be successful in their command.  They must not only know how to use their army in force, but must also be able to use subtlety and cunning to carry the day.  By examining Frederick's words, we can use them to seek out the best qualities in ourselves and use them to benefit our community and team.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Every successful general in history knows the art of presentation.  Your teammates look to you for not only a plan of battle, but also for their morale center and personal guidance.  To this end, a general must learn to manage their emotions so they are not servile to them.  For when the time comes, a cool head prevails in the thick of combat, and only one lucid in mind can think of the ideal plan required to win the day.  Join us this week as we look at the talents required of a general and the ruses and stratagems open to them.&lt;/p&gt;

To this end, a general must learn to manage their emotions so they are not servile to them.  For when the time comes, a cool head prevails in the thick of combat, and only one lucid in mind can think of the ideal plan required to win the day.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Every precious second lost to deliberation in battle is a second too long.  All warfare, whether in games or real life, depends on quick decisive action to carry the day.  But when so much information is constantly flowing and changing all around the battlefield, how does a commander filter out the non-essential and focus on pursuing that which matters most?  When so much is at stake and the blood-price is high, how does one quiet the noise of one's mind in order to know the correct course of action?  To understand how we do this, we must understand the concept of Coup D'Oeil, or "a glance that takes in a comprehensive view".  To master this concept, we must combine detailed knowledge of the country with the will to pursue the essential.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Once again, we're talking about the most important aspect of actual warfare: logistics.  Moving your army, keeping it supplied, and making sure it can use all advantages are just some of the challenges that Frederick addresses in his method.  In this episode, we look at some of the ways you can do this correctly... and one way that it all went horribly wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;When it comes to planning a war, few have a more methodical approach than Frederick the Great.  While none of us are invading Bohemia any time soon, his cool logic can be applied to a wide array of situations.  With an eye for detail in our defensive and offensive planning, we can learn to anticipate any situation.  With a mind for contingencies, we can make it so we are never caught off guard.&lt;/p&gt;
