( . . . )

All those minor nobles who work in chanceries as well as pampered tradesmen draw
their knowledge about warfare exclusively from chivalric romances. Ignoramuses like them tend to assume that
battles are won with personal skill and valor of each individual soldier, the so called heroes.

This line of thinking is complete rubbish. Yes, a personal skill will
undoubtedly save your hide if you get into a tavern brawl or decide to duel for the honor of your dame, it's hard to argue with that. However, the
moment two war parties clash on the battlefield, the importance of it falls off. A battle is no place for dueling rules or codes of honor.

against bandits, who may individually be more skilled, yet incapable of forming a line. Battles aren't won with
superior numbers or better equipment, but rather with
good plans and the ability to execute them.

The understanding of when to attack, when to turtle up, and when to press the advantage, preventing the enemy from regrouping and gathering their wits - these things are what
truly separate a sloppy duelist
or a yesterdays' thug from a
real soldier.
