Bam, you've arrived at Lanchester's Laws (though Lanchester was the tactical genius who figured this out over a hundred years ago).

But Clausewitz and Lanchester are (imho) not great at addressing how to get an opponent to play themselves.

It was written by John Lanchester as it says at the top.

Like everything else John Lanchester writes, very much worth reading.

The novel Capital by John Lanchester is a great look at a London street that was historically lower middle class but over time has become upper class.

The state of aerodynamics in 190x was more advanced than I suspect you imagine, with Lanchester on the right track in thinking about vorticity.

I happened to be riding in the Lanchester passing through a New York town and when the reporters came up they wanted to know right away why I was not riding in a Ford.

Interesting to see an article that recognises the role QE has played in driving inequality and disrupting political landscapes, but I wonder why Mr Lanchester doesn't consider the alternative policies that could have been enacted.

Particularly the part near the end that gets into "New Lanchester Strategy" and how that applies to startups?

The formalization of this is "Lanchester's Laws", equations that estimate the strength of unit numbers.

"Document Number Nine" by John Lanchester > There’s no off-the-shelf description for China’s political and economic system.

The assumptions therein are "ranged units all within fire of each other" Lanchester's Linear Law applies to Risk, Hearts of Iron, and "bottleneck" situations in Starcraft/AoE2, etc.

It also shows that Lanchester, regardless of his theoretical chops, was not a successful airplane designer!

Lanchester wrote and published those differential equations so that generals could create wargames after all, to train their armies / commanders.

This is known as Lanchester's law, and the whole point is that it's non-linear.
