Strategy is more important than tactics

 Who said "Our strategy is 1 against 10 and our tactics are 10   against 1"

The quote "Our strategy is 1 against 10 and our tactics are 10 against 1" was coined by the Chinese revolutionary and military strategist Mao Zedong. [1, 2, 3]
He frequently used this maxim to explain the principles of protracted warfare and guerrilla strategy. The core concept emphasizes overcoming a numerically superior enemy by taking them on in smaller, fractional engagements: [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Strategy (1 against 10): Acknowledging that the enemy has an overwhelming advantage in overall size and resources.
  • Tactics (10 against 1): Ensuring that in every single, specific battle or skirmish, you bring a concentrated, overwhelming local force to guarantee victory. [1, 2, 3, 4]
