I always like seeing that picture. It's interesting to note that Germany was able to maintain production levels until their factories were actually captured or just about. But with Japan their industry was just about shut down by wars end. Not so much due to bombing or shelling but because we succeeded in strangling them by sinking most of the merchant fleet. You don't have the materials to make something the factory isn't much good.
Texasmark1: The battle line, while it appears dumb both on land and the water was dictated by weapons of the day. After muskets became the standard weapon they put big sharp pointy things on em. Once they fired a couple of times they charged now using that empty musket as a pike. That was dictated because of reload times. And the guy on the horse? he wasn't out front except in pictures. At least not while on that horse. But officers did lead, not follow. At least that's what happened through the end of WWI. Even after repeating arms were in the hands of soldiers that had decent accurate ranges. For some odd reason once weapons that made fire an maneuver tactics possible, the repeating rifle with decent range, the machine gun and rapid fire artillery, the brass still insisted on lining the troops up and duking it out. A lot of that was the officers thought that the soldiers had to be kept under strict control and that they shouldn't think for themselves. That desire to keep the soldiers under control lead to trench warfare instead of fire and maneuver in WWI.
Naval warfare back in the day of throwing bullets at each other more or less dictated the battle line. It was the only way to bring the massive firepower to bare on the enemy. Once the aircraft carrier became the primary strike weapon they, still even today, cluster the rest of the fleet around to protect the carrier. New tactic generally come about because of new weapons.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
