Needs Help: Hollywood Tactics

Since General Failure no longer allows Real Life examples (for good reasons) this page probably shouldn't either.

• For starters Hollywood Tactics is by definition about misconceptions by writers of fiction about military tactics, so listing actual military personnel is misuse.
• Benefit of hindsight makes criticizing people for decisions that turned out to be bad ones too easy. We know how those battles ended up and they didn't. We have knowledge about their enemies and the terrain they might not have had. Many of the people listed might haven been Wrong for the Right Reasons or just really unlucky
