The research for this one took me far longer than expected (just over 8 months, I believe).

Nevertheless, the work has now been done. I'm back.

Another good example for number 6 u could’ve used was the battle of vaslui with the ottomans vs moldavians because the battlefield was very foggy and the ottomans deep in enemy territory didn’t know the area very well but the moldavians did and they used it to their advantage by having guys on the west of the ottomans make lots of noise by blowing horns, using drums and screaming as if they were gonna charge and attack from there and in response the ottomans focused heavily on their left anticipating an attack and completely neglecting their right which was where the real attack was going to come from

This was, indeed, very useful to me every time I went to war.
My entire village is grateful to you! They have chipped in and erased a giant monument: a simple, yet huge and eloquent metal laurel wreath placed on top of an extremely high pedestal. Each morning, fresh flowers are thrown at the monument by nubile farmers' daughters while the village elders splash lukewarm coffee onto them. At dusk, we all gather around the monument and watch the video again on our mobiles.
Thank you, Madam, from the bottom of our hearts!

The greatest General in human history, Alexander 3, is extremely important to study for anyone wanting to command troops. His battlefield accomplishments are myriad and amazing.

From this it seems that there is redundancy in 36 stratagems.

[Mofenbrau]
