Generalize oblique order associated with Battles at Leuctra and Leuthen.
Divide theater and its subordinate components (zones, fronts, positions, etc.) into three subdivisions—a center and two wings—as basis to apply the Leuctra/Leuthen concept in strategic and grand tactical maneuvers.
Set-up base(s) of operations and (alternative) lines of communication for freedom to shape and shift flow/direction of operations as basis to apply Leuctra/Leuthen strategic and grand tactical maneuvers.
Strategy / Grand tactics
By free and rapid movements carry bulk of the forces (successively) against fractions of the enemy.
Strike in the most decisive direction—that is to say against the center or one wing or the center and one wing simultaneously.
If possible, seize adversary’s communications (without losing one’s own) and force him to fight on a reverse front, by using bulk of forces to hit his flank and take him in the rear—while using detachments, as needed, to block the arrival of reinforcements as well as draw his attention elsewhere.
If the enemy’s forces are too much extended, pierce his center to divide and crush his fractions separately.
To outflank and turn (envelop) a wing, hit enemy in the flank and also contain him at the front.
An attack may be made simultaneously upon both extremities but not when the attacking force is equal or inferior (numerically) to the enemy.
