The Art of Wargaming

Episode 107: The Military Maxims of Napoleon (111-115)


Listen Later

Over the course of this study, we have sought the heart of strategy that lies in the works of one of history's most prolific figures: the commander and statesman Napoleon. His wisdom reaches from across the centuries, the boldness and decisiveness of which are as useful today as they were when first penned to the page. This is not to say that all of his tactical advice is still entirely sound, as technology has accelerated massively since he last walked the earth. Naval battles, for instance, are no longer fought entirely within easy sight, but also by carriers beyond the horizon and submarines beneath it. Yet, despite discrepancies like this, many of his ruminations still hold true. Sit down with Malark as we work through our last installment of the Napoleonic Maxims.
