Successful litigation requires thoughtful
preparation, good timing, and a focused attack.
On March 13, 1590, the day before battle, Henry IV
appeared to retreat in the face of superior numbers. He
had thoroughly prepared his army for this fight. But, he
waited. Before rushing into battle-- he waited. He was
looking for a weakness, a mistake. And, he found it. The
enemy lancers were out of position and could not make
effective use of their weapons. The King focused his attack
on the lancers and carried the day against superior
numbers.
