Actually the Battle breaks down as follows:
50% Knowing
25% Blue Lasers
25% Red Lasers
Some friends of mine and I, when we were bored, actually worked out that knowing is alot less then half the battle.
1- Acquiring the knowledge,
2- Knowing the knowledge,
3- Understanding what you now know,
4- Double checking the knowledge.
5- Developing a plan based on what you know.
6- Developing contingency plans based on what can go wrong.
7- Implementing the Plan.
8- Improvising when the plan falls apart from contact with the enemy.
9- Analyzing the aftermath of the battle to know what mistakes not to make again
10- implementing the successful tactics based on the knowledge into a new tactical doctrine.
I wish I could remember the full list of 36 parts....
