moral factor in defending of fortresses - eugene - 08-26-2009 What was the role of the garrison s demoralization in the falling of fortresses in ancient warfare? Which factor played crucial role – the quality of fortification or the morale of troops which defended here? Re: moral factor in defending of fortresses - Robert Vermaat - 08-26-2009 I'd say a mix of both - morale would not be good when defences are in a bad condition. But morale would be a major factor - fortresses in good condition can fall when morale is bad, we have many examples of that. |
