During World War I, the Germans had an army attacking from the south of Paris and an army attacking from the North of Paris. They intended to crush the French army caught in between. The English General was totally incompetent and got totally lost. He led his army right between the two German armies. The military maneuver is called a defeat in detail. If you can't be good, be lucky.
