Asymetrical Warefare in the Ancient World info

Yossarian · August 23rd, 2011

The ideas and tactics employed by the insurgency in Afghanistan is well known thoughout the world today as asymetrical measures to try and thwart an occupying enemy with superior firepower and capabilities.

But this tactic is nowhere near new, and what I am asking is are there any military campgains or occupations in the Ancient Warefare realm where an asymetircal military campgain was carried out by an inferior force and proved somewhat successful.

Any and all mentions of such is kindly welcome as I will research further in into it from there.

Kind Regards,

Yo
