Having classified the existing Strategetic Situation, it is necessary
next to designate the opposing Columns of Attack, of Support, and of
Manoeuvre.
Then, by comparing these Prime Strategetic Factors, to determine the
net advantage, disadvantage, or equality that exist between them and to
express this condition in the terms of the resulting Strategic Syllogism.
In the construction of a Strategic Syllogism, the Strategic, _i.e._,
the positional value of each of the opposing Prime Strategetic Factors
contained in a given Strategetic Situation, is expressed in terms made up
of letters and symbols, viz.,
A Signifies Column of Attack.
S ” Column of Support.
M ” Column of Manoeuvre.
+ ” Advantage in Position.
- ” Disadvantage in Position.
= ” Equality in Position.
The positional values of the several Prime Strategetic Factors are
obtained as follows:
