Force Ratios (the old 3-to-1 rule)

[Granite_State]

Some officers/reformers who deserved recognition succeeded much less than Liddell-Hart in exercising influence;

Percy Hobart, an excellent armor formation trainer and father of armoured combat engineers

On the contrary. Hobart exercised entirely too much influence in the Thirties, and was a major factor in faulty British armor tactics (the lack of combined arms) that got them kicked around the desert for two years. Auchinleck and others had to rebuild an army that he had set up for failure.

Can you provide some sources to substantiate this please?
