Stratedgy or not...

So it has recently come to my attention that Warhammer game play is un-realistic in the extreme. Now yes I know that it really is suppose to be un-realistic, but I mean in the way war is waged. You cannot truelly apply stratedgy that is real. You just work to your strengths and to the enemys weaknesses. But in real war an outnumbered defender( given certain advantages, which I will talk about later) can win an engagement against a far superior force. But in 40k if you only take 1000pts against someone with 2000pts you WILL lose. No matter what. You physically do not have enough to counter the other person. But you'd think ,"ok. Ill just out flank him or bottle neck him." But in this game, there are rules against that.

                        The rules set out for us are based aroumd the fact that you assume this has already happened or is being done. While bottle necking and flanking are possible, other things are not. Such as, Sneeking behind the enemy, out running the enemy, or diversionary tactics. The enemy knows your army and what you will do. And building a legit army isnt possible either.

             In war if you'd like to be real but I'll relate it to warhammer, you would take alot of troops and heavy support. Or you would take what the situation calls for. Because in war you carefully plan out engagements and defences and provide on the spot intel to your men. Thoughts?
