First of all, I do believe that commanding a modern battle is very challenging.

What I'm wondering about are ancient or medieval battles. I've only heard about maneuvers such as flanking, surprise attack etc. I mean: there are few of them, and you just tell your cavalry to go around the enemy lines, ...right? You are not able to communicate with your forces, so you just place them, tell them what the plan is, and hope for the best?

One might say: choosing when and where to battle is of greater importance. However, it still seems pretty simple: ambush > no ambush, ground on which your troops excel > ground on which your troops suck.

I believe that my assumptions are wrong, but in what way?
