Another take on strategy and tactics
Once again, "the map is not the terrain."
I just can't stop finding stuff about the distinction between strategy and tactics fascinating. Here's another great quote, this time from Baron Henri de Jomini's Art of War:
"Strategy is the art of making war upon the map, and comprehends the whole theater of operations. Grand Tactics is the art of posting troops upon the battle-field according to the accidents of the ground, of bringing them into action, and the art of fighting upon the ground, in contradistinction to planning upon a map."
