Excerpt from Studies in Applied Tactics, Vol. 1: Guide for Officers Preparing for Tactical Examinations
In this little book the attempt is made - for the first time in England, so far as I am aware - to assist in the study of Applied Tactics with small units. Not many have the opportunity of taking part in a "Kriegspiel," but all can read at home.
If it finds favour, I shall continue with the solution of a series of questions as set in the various tactical examinations, and introduce such as I think ought also to be set.
To every one who has experience in Tactics it will be apparent that, when solving a question as mostly set in the current examinations, the time allowed to do so properly is altogether inadequate. Latterly three is the usual number to be done in three hours.
Two to three hours ought to be allowed for one question, otherwise only a perfunctory answer can be obtained, and thus a superficial student is placed on equality with a serious one.
