Some things I learnt and thought of

In modern warfare, upon contact always try to fire the first shot. this is to pin down the enemy and/or force him to react to you. even if u do not know the exact location of the enemy, jst fire in a general direction. Its still better.

- translated from Rommel's diaries

Field skirmishers to break the enemy line. Train regular troops in skirmisher duties and train skirmishers to fight as regular troops

- French Republic Military School of thought plus words of Napolean Bonaparte

Always give skirmishers the most potent projectile weapons possible.

Archers(Ranged troops) are meant to even the odds and not to win battles
