    I learned flanking playing Medieval 1 & 2 total war as a fucking dumb secluded 10 year old.

    Cannae might be one of the most well discussed battles in history BECAUSE of the use of flanking (and because of how huge of a Roman L it was). My history books in high school described the (American) Union strategy of blockading as flanking.

    If you’re 20+ and call flank, surround, and/or engulfing “WWII tactics”, you shouldn’t be making military analysis posts. Absolutely embarassing post.
