" The victory of a military formation whose
orderly evolutions could accomplish ten times as
much as the unco-ordinated efforts of an equal
numberof equally armed hoplite champions (sxS]
g[Ik ey;ä;). Between the defeat of Goliath
to the French victory over Murad Bey, the last of
the cataphracts (mh;ey;ä;)
to the victory of the Vietnamese guerillas -
vastly inferior in equipment but far more adept at
joining battle on their chosen terrain and terms,
there have been scores of examples of the mighty
being toppled by a weak but determined and trained
adversary." AE
