I had fun making a little stop-motion video on the naval tactic of anakrousis, or the art of luring the enemy out of line by approaching and then rapidly backing water. Hollywood here I come… what do you think about it? link |

Good Video Add the reason why they did this as well and your hollywood masterpiece will be complete. |

thanks. I honestly don't think there's much else beyond what I already wrote.
You are an attacking fleet and the enemy is waiting you, stationary, with all its ships in a neat line, no flanks exposed, all prows towards you. You try to probe with anakrousis, try to get some of his captains out of the line, mess it up a little bit, open up some holes… if it works, you raise a bronze shield, sing the paean and you go in. I think that's pretty much it! but I'd love to ear from more knowledgeable people |

many thanks pfmodel, interestinf publication. What is this? I see that they agree with the "line ahead" school of diekplous, which I definitely agree. Not sure if it is feasible to open the manouver with a ramming however. This would probably create a traffic jam and stop the whole line from passing throught! |

Looks like Warfare in the Classical World by John Warry. |
