ACOUP - Total Generalship: Commanding Pre-Modern Armies, Part I: Reports

In this series, Bret examines various aspects of how commanding pre-modern armies worked and compares the historical reality to the representations of command we see in video games and film. To start the series, Bret examines the pre-modern general’s information landscape. What does he know (and how) before a battle begins, and when a battle is joined, what can he know from his very human position on the field?
