Episode 120: Offensive Variations
Sunday, 30 November, 2025
In the time in which Clausewitz wrote "On War", going on the offensive involved no small amount of risk. Between the rise of dominance in the field of artillery and new and brutal ways of preparing a killing field, going on the attack meant being vulnerable to all matter of calamity. As a result, his analysis of offensive variations stresses the need for boldness and prudence in equal measure. There are many reasons to mount an attack, from the wholesale destruction of our opponents to the acquisition of secondary objectives, each of them having their own hazards and considerations for success. Yaga Malark delves into this simple yet complicated subject to bring you the best methods for offensive variations.
