“Amateurs study tactics. Experts study logistics.” - Heluth von Moltke the Elder

Logistics is one reason why the Russians couldn’t maintain pressure on the Eastern Front in WWI. They had more men than Germany and Austria, but considerably inferior support lines.

An inept and corrupt military didn’t help much, either.

Reading up on WWI shows how bad off the empires of Europe were. Each one was collapsing under its own ineptitude. The war finished them off.
