Is it not possible that warfare involves just a teeny bit more strategy than track meets and, even, tennis? That the race might not be to the swift or the brawny but to the brainy? Well, I've watched Zulu at least three times and figure that regimental squares has the old assault tactics beat. But, of course, that movie completely overlooks what happened the day before.

I guess, though, by your lights, Middle earth was little more than the playing fields of Eton. You might be right.

Oh, I definitely must have had lemon with my tea today!
