Jan 20, 2023 at 1:04 | comment | added | Jarrad | Thanks this was exactly the kind of analysis I was after, albeit incomplete. It challenges my assumptions with real figures and shows that more is required to find a realistic number. I say "incomplete" in that I think this type of critical analysis can keep going. My Tooth-Tail ratio is for a modern army, so maybe we could translate those figures from the historical examples? How far could a modern state push it's mobilisation before it starts to become reasonably ineffective, at least as a modern military with it's extensive support requirements? Thanks again for your answer | |
