The 24 commandments of Gunfighting seem to apply broadly to large scale warfare as well.
The pertinent ones-
1.Have a gun.
A.Preferably, have at least two guns.
B.Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2.Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
5. Proximity negates skill. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun... and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
A. "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly."
12. Have a plan.
A. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
13. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
14. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect your own flank.
15.Don't drop your guard.
16.Always perform a tactical reload and then threat scan 360 degrees.
18. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
19. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
And...The Law-
This is the law:
The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.
