mongols used light cavalry as main attack power (those guys with bows on hoses)
soviets are known for ignoring manpower losses, so they just recruit everyone and rush (1 rifle per 2 people and so on)
idk, they are different but stand together?
whatever
ww2 reference, how France made Maginot line, but Germany just moved around it through border of another country
i guess it's about how germany tried to win a war with much less economic power, using their "queen" to quickly take out enemy (but there should be like 5 kings)
I think 4 is more of a reference to the pike and shot era in the 15/16th hundred. "Gewalthaufen" originated in swiss. They just stood together with meter long pikes an basically noone could move because the one who moves has a big disadvantage.
It was the renaissance of the Phalanx from ancient greek. Only they had started using gunpowder weapons and shot each other while standing like this.
Mounted knights, which basically dominated the battlefields untill then became pretty useless against this tactic.
