Strategy of the central position
- Strategy of the central position
The strategy of the central position was a key strategy used by Napoleon in the Napoleonic Wars. It involved attacking of two cooperating armies at their hinge, swinging around to fight one until it fled, then turning to face the other. The strategy allowed the use of a smaller force to defeat a larger one. However, the strategy failed at the Battle of Waterloo following "The 100 Days", and Napoleon was defeated. ["The Napoleonic Revolution", Robert B. Holtman.1967, J.B. Lippincot Company]
