Of course. All war is the struggle to impose the order of plans upon the chaos of battle -- and as Clausewitz (or was it Moltke the Elder) pointed out -- "No plan survives the first contact with the enemy."
Indeed waterloo , Sekigahara and Chibi show this is true

I've got a LOT of Confederate ancestors. lol
