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?

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.

In other words Lee accomplished his strategic objectives during the Seven Days Battles even though he suffered a series of tactical defeats throughout, is that right Professore?
