    Attrition is a powerful factor often forgotten in war.

    Easiest way to beat your enemies? Surround them with pointy sticks and slowly poke and starve them until they give up. Bonus points if you hurl dead animals into their village.

    Obviously that’s a bit crude but I wanted to highlight the fact that this tactic is as old as time. If they widdle Russia down far enough they might be able to make the sweeping charge everyone wanted to see.
