| -The Russian series of defeats at the hands of the Germans after Barbarossa, (lack of... well... everything, but particularly skill)
-The defeat of the Kwantung army at the hands of the Russians, (how the tables were turned!)
The defeat of the Italians at the hands of the Ethiopians, (That was a big laugh)
-Battle of 42 Easting, (little or no communications between Iraqi units and no coordination at all)
I'll post others when they come to mind.
I am a bit surprised by Waterloo. I have always understood that it was too close to call until the Prussians showed up for the flank attack about 4 hours late. It seems to me that it was the Allies who had coordination problems. The French tactics were sound for the beginning of the Napoleonic era, but by the end of it, everyone knew what they were going to do.
