There's a substantial difference between planning for a battle and executing that plan. Isn't that obvious? Your inability to distinguish that difference helps explain why you also seem to equate competence with brilliance .
How much more remedial attention will you require before actually providing us with a specific example of Granny's brilliance as a tactical commander during the Seven Days Battles in early 1862?
Lee totally screwed up the artillery prep before Pickett's Charge, leaving it entirely to a 25(?)-year old. Instead of shooting directly at the Union line, resulting in under and over shots completely missing their targets, the shooting should have been at angles, giving under and over shots a much better chance of hitting something. And why the hell did the attack start in the afternoon? First thing in the morning is best for that sort of thing.
Are you talking about the difference between a tactician and a field commander?
You're making fun of me? What a joke. It's allright to cry, little mac. We understand.
I don't get it once again. Lee devised a plan of battle that, even though horribly executed, achieved all objectives and was essentially a total success in the face of overwhelming odds.
Now I have to explain why that is a success? Thank goodness you're not involved in today's WOT.
