/emoji/twitter.icon I think the idea that "gradual deployment of troops is a foolish strategy" has had a big influence on the otaku world through Legend of the Galactic Heroes, but even in the show, the difficulties of coordinating and deploying a large force all at once, as well as the disadvantages of a large force due to geographical factors, are depicted. However, these difficult aspects are not often discussed... /emoji/twitter.icon The biggest advantage of "concentrating overwhelming force in one place" is that it allows for a battle that does not depend on the opponent's moves. It becomes a picture where most of the factors of victory or defeat can be secured by "adjustments within one's own camp" alone. While the Second Law of Lanchester is also important, this "strategy that is not dependent on external factors and has a high impact" seems to be a strength. https://t.co/QLkkyFgPX4 /emoji/twitter.icon While logistics, cash flow, and consensus are difficult, the overall difficulty seems to be lower compared to "getting the opponent to move as intended" or "fighting against the opponent's moves".
/emoji/twitter.icon When compressing Sun Tzu's Art of War, it becomes "minimize external dependence and uncertainty in sudden battles". The essence is how to create a stupid picture that says "if you hit 10 times harder, you will win overwhelmingly" by reducing the dependence on clever tactics and skill, and how to force the opponent into that situation. In the show, Yang Wen-li was forced to do the opposite and achieved results, but it led to a quagmire.
