You ain't gonna convince me that there is no difference between horse drawn carriages/wagons delivering supplies recorded in someone's head, verses cargo ships/planes/trucks and automatic updating of databases networked between the entire force :D Edit: And yes, I am familiar with the original version describing war.

@@christopherg2347 Not even a squint, even though the Art of War is actually more about the inadvisability of waging war in the first place, but if you do, then the larger strategic actions needed to ensure you win and win it quickly. While logistics are not heavily emphasized, the costs and difficulties of supplying and army are and that they are non-negotiable and can't be ignored. Living off the land is not reliable or sustainable, and raiding is discouraged unless the populace is already outright hostile in order to not make them so. Not to mention that interfering with the other side's ability to resupply is highly encouraged so as to deny them supplies and to affect their morale.

Those who quote that have never seen combat. Tactitians are combat heroes. Logistians allow those heroes to do what they do best. Strategists are the amateurs attempting to predict everything then flailing when something unexpected happens. No strategy survives first contact with the enemy, that is when tactics takes over. Tactics is limited by logistics, logistics is limited by tactics. Failed tactics will destroy your logistics. Failed logistics reduces what you can tactically accomplish. Strategy is limited by any outside force doing literally anything not in line with your predictions.

@@Nempo13 Strategy works wonderfully if you know your enemies moves, the second things change, tactics prevail. Logistics simply make the whole plan, big or small work. Zhukovs strategy only worked because his while strategy was idiotic, and his tactics were nonexistant, but his logistics were great compared to the enemy, his war theatre was the least valuable to the enemy. He was the afterthought, and great logistics without tactics and strategy is a meat grinder that ruins your logistics long term.

I played in a text rpg that had a "war" going on as part of the story. I went in there and got actual logistics going. It significantly changed how the game went. People who didn't play "war" characters were able to participate in the game's war effort. People who didn't have time or care to ensure they had gear never had to worry about it. I think I kinda annoyed one of the founders for overshadowing their "important" characters. Oopsie. ;) Every once in a while, the founders would attempt a "hard course correction" to get the story back on course to their vision that jarred most of the playerbase and made them unhappy. Adaptation is a necessary skill.

I think that is a lesson that pretty much everyone creating and running MMOs will have to learn and quite often, they do it the hard way. Players _will_ find a way to abuse the crap out of the game mechanics. Just take a look at the Ultima games, It was still relatively harmless when players were realising that they can stack loaves of bread, create bridges and soon, completely skipped huge parts of certain quests by crossing whole oceans on bread bridges. I mean, the moment the first Ultima went online, players completely wrecked its ecology. They had implemented a really great system of grass growing, herbivores eating the grass and carnivores eating the herbivores. And they thought, players would focus on fighting the carnivores - but as soon as the game went online, players swarmed out like a swarm of locusts, killing and looting _everything._ The people behind the game tried everything to mitigate this, but in the end they just grounded arms and ripped the entire ecology from the game. And I think it was Ultima Online as well where a player locked some small, insignificant, but incredibly fast breeding critter into a house, waited until they reached a number of a million or so and then opened the door - the creatures where explosively spreading (think Tribbles on speed), flooded a whole continent and, pun not intented, ultimately crashed the server.

@@Tiewaz Now that sounds very, very stupid for sure. But when it comes to games, I think the problem is that one simply can not think of every idea the players might have. Do you know Painkiller? Still one of my most favourite shooters, not at least because of how awesome the weapons are. Each comes with two very different fire modes, the shotgun for instance is, well, a shotgun, but the second mode fires a blast that freezes enemies. One of the first guns you get is the Stake Gun, which, well again, fires stakes. Quite fun to pin enemies to walls with it. The second mode serves as a grenade launcher - and players, myself included, discovered that you can fire a grenade and then, when you have good aim, you can fire a stake, _pin_ the grenade in mid-air and thus, turn the thing into a makeshift rocket launcher. It was _so_ obvious, but according to the devs, they actually never thought of this.

Sorry for the second comment, but my first answer was quite long already and I want to keep it readable. When it comes to what you've told about your work, I feel you. I am a nurse and even I are quite baffled sometimes how incredibly stupid and thick people are. I guess you know what a suppository is and how and, most of all, _where_ it is used. And you have no idea how often I handed a sup + fingerstall to patients, asked if they know how this is used, got a peeved and snippy answer... only to come back to hear complaints that this pill was waaay to huge, that it tasted terrible and that the chewing gum would not help with the bad taste. I had patients ripping open cold packs we handed out on hot days, those things with the neon-colored, poisonous looking gel inside, and complaining that the ice cream we gave them tasts so terrible and is so difficult to eat. I also handed out medical drops against vaginal yeast infection to a female patient that were meant to be used _orally._ And then I enter the room, only to find her lying on her back on the bed, half-naked, legs spread, while her husband was trying to pour the medicine into her vagina. One simply can not underestimate the stupidity or, in the best case, the ingenuity and phantasy of people. It's absolutely impossible to think of every moronic or ingenious move people might think of.

The main reason many Soviet-era personal weapons was so heavily exported by the Soviet Union is because of this, with the additional benefit of the fact that many could be made in a simple machine shop, though these versions were far less effective, durable, or reliable than one made in a weapon's factory. They were still reliable enough and worked well enough that insurgent forces without the needed manufacturing infrastructure were able to make and maintain their own, though they would buy exports whenever possible.

Good writing. However the story about the bomber squadron made no sense. Even today we can coordinate fireing solutions between thousands of automated guns and guide targets into traps. Even in computergames. All within milliseconds by computer. Yet a thousands year in the future we lost this basic knowledge and manually shoot guns in space and loose a huge amount of bombers because of human inaccuracies. That bit made zero sense. But it was good writing. Just a bit lame.
