Creating urgency is key here. The therapeutic society considers armies AND supplies while losing often the momentum. A famous Dutch pirate Claes Compaen went out with a small ship to conquer a bigger ship and did that over and over again. The urgency to capture a ship was created by him by not taking any food for his crew with him when he sailed out. Patton may have but surely Napoleon has used the same strategy.
