A video about ploys used in war to deceive the enemy. Make him think you have more men than you really have, fewer men than you really have, the same number as he thought you had, that you are increasing in strength when you are decreasing, and that you will attack when you will defend.

Examples come from ancient China, Gaul, the War of the Spanish Succession, and the American Not Terribly Civil War.
