He dashes through the Cominian forest based on excellent guide from someone who knew the area that knew his brother.
He surprises the Etruscans.
He attacks them at night.
He defeats them.
He steals his own men by not telling them in a different battle that you have reinforcements coming.
You're all on your own.
And if you don't defeat the enemy, they're going to destroy you.
And that allows them to pluck up their courage and go fight the enemy, knowing full well that the reinforcements are actually going to hit them in the rear.
But if he hadn't, one, had the foresight to make sure that he knew the reinforcements were coming and put a contingent of men behind the hills.
But then two...
Quintus knew his own men well enough to know if they know that, they're not going to fight the way they need to for us to win the battle.
He would not have been successful.
That's just great generalship.
When he's a really old man, Quintus Fabius Maximus is fighting with his fellow, Publius Decius Mus, and the two have been frequently in the same, they've served like three times as consuls together, both censors together.
So the families clearly are, they're close.
One's a plebeian family, one's a patrician.
Well, Publius Decius Mus, he's no Darius.
His whole family has this tradition where they devote themselves to, if a battle is going badly, they go through really quick rites with a priest that is next to them.
And then they go like charge into an enemy formation and devote themselves to the gods.
Now this is like totally foolhardy.
