In this new subseries within Armies and Tactics series, we will cover the various tactics, strategies, formations, doctrines etc. used by the generals throughout history. The first video will discuss the formation called Oblique Order and we will use the battles of Leuctra fought between the Spartans and the Thebans of Epaminondas in 371 BC, Battle of Hohenfriedberg in which Frederick the Great and his Prussians defeated the Austrians in 1745 and the battle of Friedland during which Napoleon decisively defeated the Russian army and forced Russia and Prussia to sign the treaty of Tilsit as an example

Previously we have covered Hohenfriedberg (   • Battle of Hohenfriedberg 1745 - First...  ) and Friedland (   • Napoleonic Wars: Battle of Friedland ...  )
