That being said though, the deeper you delve into MW theory, the more it becomes about OODA loops and decentralizing your formations so that they can run through their Boyd cycles faster than the other side can, because they're limited by the inherent drag that sized formations impose upon its decisionmaker's ability to OODA (or alternatively, they may not! And such burning of the fat is necessary to keep one's head above water).

In this sense, this is perfectly applicable to FS in general because whilst a FLOT (forward line of troops) may not exist, strategic points and such do, and this necessitates enemy strategy being focused upon them, and the weaknesses in the presented strategy can be exploited with a strategy that's based upon a foundation of MW principless.

It's also 6:12am in the morning and I am in a foreign country nursing a cold and I'll check this at some later stage to see whether it all makes sense!
