What happened?  I expected clever use of all the resources at your disposal.  Instead, you squandered everything in ineffective headlong assaults on enemy strongpoints.  

My appraisal of your battlefield skills, commander, leaves me baffled about what went wrong.  Instead of innovative tactics and a rude awakening for their forces, I saw innovative tactics from the enemy and a rude awakening for our forces.

Your pitiful effort is one step away from complete negligence.  I expect and demand better of you.
