Do we know how Trotsky was good at war? Where did he get trained Did he write down his learnings? Did stalin have any war writings and tactics? Who were the main guys behind defeating Nazis? Are there books from them

I have another question that I've always wondered Is a tactic bad because it is well known? Since Sun Tzu's Art of War (Also why is it so popular? lol) is so well known and analysed by many Is it outdated? Are the lessons still worth learning? What are some other hidden lesser well known great books about war tactics?

>>5965 >Is a tactic bad because it is well known? No, definitely not. It should be assumed the enemy can read the same books you can.
>Are the lessons still worth learning? I think they are. It's been a long time since I read it but there are ideas there like:
>Appear weak when you are strong, appear strong when you are weak. So basically it's about managing information. Now isn't that very timely?

>>5972 It is.
I'm going to read it now
I have one question about the enemies with the same knowledge and tactics
Who comes out on top? Would it be just a flip coin's chance of either one's victory?
The one with the most discipline to the old ways wins or the one who finds a way to deviate and create a new path through the blueprint wins

>>5973 >I have one question about the enemies with the same knowledge and tactics >Who comes out on top? Would it be just a flip coin's chance of either one's victory? war could be seen as a game of imperfect information. Both sides are seeking for more information to strategize and exploit around.
Sometimes the information is bad, and you really can't account for that.
Even if a general knew whole armies could fit into a swamp, would he really put forward resources to scout it?

>>5978 sure those two are important but it's not just one or two things.
>>5973 Anon I suggest you read up on asymmetric and guerilla warfare, as well as insurrections and other smaller and other more niche topics. There are plenty of ways in which a small and poorly equipped army can defeat a larger and stronger foe

(To which one might be tempted to add something like "ministers think diplomacy.")

Question: How do you get better at strategy? Whether in games or in more tangible applications(last time was paintball I would say) I'm shit at it. I can keep a rough top-down look in my mind, but don't know what to do with it. Am I just not looking at the right things?

>>9932 have a primary objective, and work back form there, in a way consistent with your conditions.
Like you have a goal, turn that into a plan. A plan has steps to reach the goal. This plan should be based on the reality of your abilities and some operating theory of how stuff works. From there, work on how to meet each step of the plan, and think about what could happen to have your plan change.
This is just off the top of my head though like basic logic, read anything here to have specific ideas. Knowledge comes from experience. But it seems like your problem is a total lack of a coordinated plan, because if you have a plan at all then it's a matter of cutting it into smaller and smaller levels of detail until it can direct your immediate action, then acting on that.
