Which means absolutely dick when you are assaulting an entrenched enemy.
Perhaps you could cite some historic examples involving substantially underequipped, and vastly outnumbered forces performing comparably to Lee's over a span of regional campaigns?

How about the Iraqi insurgency, Hannibal and his legions, Washington and his colonials, William Wallace and his Scottish rebellion, and the French, Dutch, and Polish resistances in World War II?
