That _relative advantage in Position with the Column of Attack_,
expressed:
1. By superior location, direction and development of the Kindred
Strategic Front of Operations; and
2. By the occupation of Points of Departure, of Manoeuvre, of
Command and of the Strategic Key of a True Strategic Horizon,
indicates that a Strategic Grand Battle in the first instance;
and in the second case that a Tactical Grand Battle is most
favorable in the existing situation.
That _relative advantage in Position with the Column of Support_,
expressed by superior facilities for occupying with the Kindred
Promotable Factors their corresponding Points of Junction in the Kindred
Logistic Horizon, is materially manifested upon the Chess-board by
the larger number of Pawn Altitudes which either are open, or may be
opened, despite all possible resistance by the enemy; and such advantage
designates those adverse Points of Impenetrability and Points of
Resistance to the march of the Kindred Promotable Factors, which it is
necessary to nullify.
That _relative advantage in Position with the Column of Manoeuvre_,
expressed by the security of the Kindred and the exposure of the
adverse Strategetic Rear to attack by the Kindred Column of Support, is
materially manifested upon the Chess-board by the occupation by a Kindred
Promotable Factor of the Point of Proximity; and such advantage indicates
that the advance with all possible celerity of such Promotable Factor
and Point of Proximity toward the corresponding Point of Junction is a
dominating influence in the existing situation.
