Basic tactics

that's a pretty vague word.

You want military tactics?

Hand-to-hand combat tactics?

Textbook-reading tactics?

Test-taking tactics?

marketing tactics?

Big dick growth switch tactics?

Pretty sure you can google any of the above if you're really in need but I hear Sun Tzu's Art of War is ok.

I was thinking military tactics, I should've been more specific. I know the art of war is meant to be good, but I don't know how entry level it is.If anyone here has read it, would you say it was good for a beginner or not?

amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics

I'm not looking to become a professional, so I think I'll still go with tactics.

The Art of War is a must for grand strategy and leading an army, and yes, it deals with logistics. The book (not really a book, it's very short) is still relevant if only because it is so general about strategy.

The next thing to do is decide what timeframe of military tactics you wanna learn.

The Art of War was written when people figured out how to fight war beyond "send a bunch of people to fight a bunch of people and hope you win". It's almost all common sense, and was a breakthrough in the sense that it considers grand strategy and not just set-piece battles. Great for its time, but keep in mind its time was the 5th century BC.

Tactically speaking you want to read something like Attacks by Erwin Rommel or the US army field manuals on small unit tactics. Otherwise look into military history books that talk about certain battles and how they were won.

includes in-depth detail of logistical and social factors that influence and differentiate military tactics, spanning from antiquity to modern warfare.

The Art of War is a must-read for anyone even remotely interested in military tactics.

/thread, basically

Military tactics are a wide subject, what exactly are you interested in?

I'm particullarly interested in the French revolutionary wars. Someone reccomended I read Clausewitz, but I've read that he was often misinterpreted, so I wanted to learn more of the basics first.
