The Commonwealth will be using information from the recent conflict of a coalition vs. EE.
The Abstract.

Good lessons, but you knew this stuff already. Principles of War. Concentration of forces to achieve critical objectives. Unity of command! All this is a good reason for coalition warfare for democracies.

Thou shalt not piecemeal thy tanks (or thy divisions).
He who defends (or attacks) everything defends (or attacks) nothing.

Sometimes, we forget the stuff we do for real is just important in a wargame.

Organize the effort.
1. Define the mission.
2. Determine the tasks and resources required vs available. Adjust the mission, tasks in accordance with the resources available.
3. Allocate the tasks and resources.
4. Issue the order and follow the preparation.
5. Execute and adjust as the situation develops.

All blessings flow from a good mission statement (and its following 5-paragraph field order).
