BAIT AND SHOCK
A strategy focussing on the use of artillery, cavalry, and autonomous systems.
~~~~~~~~~
So I have been practicing military strategy for months now. I have been reading the Art of War, as well as learning from a few generals from World War 2 as well as Napoleon himself from the Napoleonic Wars. I have started learning ever since I took interest in it. Even if I don't have military boardgames and true video games of military tactics, I have managed to train my mind to think tactically. I am trained enough to the point I am able to come up with a strategy of my own even if I am only a few months into it. This is my strategy, I call it Bait and Shock, I hope it works.
Bait and Shock works like this; Let's take Army A and Army B. Army A would split up its forces and use the smallest group to bait Army B into pursuing it. Upon being deceived into deep enough territory, the rest of Army A would launch an artillery barrage into Army B's forces, applying a sense of shock into them. The use of artillery should lower their morale. I would also suggest using airstrikes to further shell the enemy. After this, it is vital to strike at them RIGHT AFTER the barrage. Striking at the enemy while they are down will surely win the battle. But make sure that they have room to retreat. For if they do not they will fight to the death and it would be long and costly for your forces. Once Army B has been routed back, launch a quick offensive with your armored forces, partially encircle them and let them go to frighten the enemy army. And once you have taken out enough soldiers, fully encircle them with your cavalry and capture them.
With the Army B defeated, now is the time to win the war. Paratroopers and drones are very beneficial assets. Send paratroopers to occupy vital areas like ports and harbors so you can obtain reinforcements from the seas. Drones can be used to strike structures from afar. Use them to destroy radar stations and other tactical structures. After that, use those drones to destroy buildings needed for human survival: Food, Water, Electricity. Prioritize on water plants, treatment plants, and sewage plants. If you destroy those, their farms will run out of water and will eventually starve them of food.
Continue destroying these structures until the enemy gives in and surrenders. And thus, you have successfully won a war.
