Eric got off to a bit of a slow start, but more than made up for it later. He kept me on the run for pretty much the whole game, till turn 35, when he resigned. Eric stuck mainly to the roads, where I grabbed the high areas and forests. I made a stand in the NW town with two 250 point objectives, and it despite Eric hitting it with everything he had for roughly ten turns, it held.
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.
