This week a very interesting link.
You must have, like me, sometimes overlooked a battle and said to yourself that if it were you, you would have done things different and of course win the battle. But when you are really in the sandals of the general that is an entire new ball game.
This video is good for that. It shows four normal guys put in the role of generals and they must fight one of determinant Alexander the Great's battle. Three things gets out of this experiment:
- The importance of communication. Generals must communicate with their Lieutenants. In the middle of chaos even more. Even if you are just stating the fact that anybody can see. Communicate!
- Once you adopt a strategy and tactics. Don't second guess! Fight it to the end. You may win or you may lose. But if you change tactics during the fight, you WILL lose.
- The importance of troop’s morale. Alexander fought in first wave. While Darius flees the battle field. As a result the Macedonians fought harshly while massive amount of Darius troops ran for their lives abandoning the combat field. This played an important part in Alexander victory even when is was outnumbered 3 to 1 for the battle.
Enjoy this video.
