Get a Sun Tsu quote and then say how it applies to something in EIRR, go!

[RikiRude]

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
-Sun Tzu, the Art of War

So a stacked game is signs of supreme excellence

[Tymathee]

Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death. If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt; kind-hearted, but unable to enforce your commands; and incapable, moreover, of quelling disorder: then your soldiers must be likened to spoilt children; they are useless for any practical purpose.
-Sun Tzu

Vet Whoring ftw

[Mysthalin]

Bring war material with you from home, but forage on the enemy... use the conquered foe to augment one's own strength.

Recrew, bitch.

Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.

Don't rush the spawn, but don't camp either.

The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.

Chose where you want to fight.

An army may march great distances without distress, if it marches through country where the enemy is not. You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked.

Don't attack where the enemy is. Rather, flank him, outcap him, then force him to attack you in a place where your units can be used the best.

Should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak.

Flank like a motherfucker.

[DarkSoldierX]

Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

Dont vet hunt

[cloud234]

the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to w in or lose.

Make a gimmick company. Calculate how much offmaps you can stack!

[Chyper]

"In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good."

Don't drive through hedges and walls or blow houses to pieces?....

"It is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for the purposes of spying, and thereby they achieve great results."

If your opponent(s) are on vent, listen in on their discussion and try not to reveal yourself by laughing out loud.

[Mysthalin]

"In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good."

Don't destroy that which can be recrewed, and only force a squad to retreat. No need to hunt it down to death.

Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

More like "Don't get too close to the spawn vet-hunting."

[puddin]

Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

This means one simple thing....

Make sure to leave the retreat path clear and focus all efforts on the units themselves, So that when an enemy has an avenue of retreat, he will take it to preserve the units he holds most dear, IF you leave no avenue of retreat, he will fight to death, and quite possibly turn the tide of the engagement and win. 

Let the enemy run away, to win the day, Surround the enemy and with no other choice than death.... They will fight to the last man making it much more costly.

[Hicks58]

It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on.

You'll only ever understand the true strengths and weaknesses of a unit or faction when you've thoroughly used it yourself.

[PonySlaystation]

If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt, then your soldiers must be likened to spoiled children; they are useless for any practical purpose.
