And the direct frontal assault up hill against an enemy waiting for the attack with a 100 gun artillery reserve on the third day at Gettysburg was such a brilliant, bold, innovative tactical employment for George Pickets Division.
PS. Pickets Charge 49% casualties, Cold Harbor 47% casualties.

Frontal assaults during the CW were suicide period.

Hood & Pickett didn’t have a chance at Gettysburg.
Burnside didn’t have a chance at Fredericksburg.
Sherman went bust at Kennesaw Mountain.
Grant’s frontal assaults at Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor were in vain.

So for those of us who are familiar with Pickett's charge but not with Cold Harbor, you're saying Cold Harbor was pretty much an equally insane thing to do as Pickett's charge?

'Cause if that's what you're saying I've gotta see your point, according to the statistics you cite... granted I know nothing about Cold Harbor except having heard the name here or there, probably mostly here at FR.
