Theory of Attac

j_stafforini — 2015-08-24 14:16:24 UTC

The theory was that an attack would be led by the cavalry charge. The infantry charge would follow the cavalry and take charge of the positions caputured by the cavalry, and be prepared by a counter-attack from the enemy.

However

Cavalry became very vulneravle to trenches so they weren t ussefull. Because of this infantry charge became the main tactic of the generals
