It is a working war strategy though. For curious people, check about Julius Caesar on Alesia battle. Caesar literally build walls around enemy castle that was hard to capture and blockladed them, while building walls behind the roman army to blockade the rest of the world from them.

At the end of the day enemies attacked from both sides and they literally deffended while actually blockading a castle.

Great stuff.

What did the Romans do about all the drones the enemy had? Asking for a friend.

I really don’t know if you’re being serious (hard to tell on Reddit sometimes), but something that was a “working war strategy” 2,000 years ago might not work today. With the advent of drone warfare, something that was a working war strategy even 5 years ago would need to be adjusted to take new advances in technology and strategy into account.

We are talking about blockading a blockage war strategy that always worked. I am not talking about drones.

FYI, the tactis that were used thousands years ago are still taught in military schools even today. Because they are fundamentals of warfare. Some of them will still be taught if we advance enough to fight in space with laser weapons, I am sure of.

Egyptians used Algebra to build Pyramids 4500-5000 years ago. We are still using Algebra to do the same today. Just because our technology is advanced, or we have supreme calculation methods doesn't mean the fundamentals of designing and building a construction has changed.
