51st British Infantry Battle of Cambrai, 1917

The integrated study of terrain, means and mission will be the basis of the most important variable that, scientifically, will be altered in the simulation. This variable is to compare various methods (Fuller and Harper) for a British victory in the Flesquieres sector, which proved to be critical to subsequent failure in the area of operations. That is, changing the historic composition of the 51st Infantry Division to two tank battalions - the D and E - full, six companies - not five as it was - as well as the organization for the battle, employing all three from the outset the 1st echelon infantry brigades, each supported by two tank companies. This would aim at the tactical level to reinforce the principles of mass and thrust, while at the technical level to compare the synthetic methods of the evolution of the use of armor (historically, armored men's machines).
