Yes, and let us not forget rifled cannon that fired timed & impact-fused projectiles and breach-loading, repeating rifles or steam-powered armored ships.  The Europeans watched us closely during that war, particularly the Prussians, and in 1870 they used a new tactic developed by us to whup the French:  the railroad.

And Gernades, don't forget the Gernades. I think we are seeing a change in warfare. It is no longer armies aganist armies. Instead it is Armies aganist Terror Cells.

It's not so much that we are seeing a change in warfare, I think, but a change in what we are fighting. For instance, our tech has not changed much, nor have are combat tactics. Instead of changing how we do things in combat, we are changing who we are fighting, requiring us to find smaller enemies and kill them.

But again, you two (Dan and 'Mr.' Sherman) would know more about that then me...

as we fine more new and inventive ways of killing our fellow man, you'll find not much has changed in the last hundrad years...whats old is new again...sure the tech has changed, from mounted archers  to mounted riflemen and on to mechanized infantry. a new look at what  basicly comes down to fast mobile troops...but the tactics had never really changed, the terrain has never really changed, just the tech... gotta admit that Rommel had some great ideals for his time...
Belief is the hardest thing to fight...
