Some.
Well-fought. Quick, aggressive, mobile warfare at the Division-Corps level before many had thought of it. Concentrate, strike an isolated element, and move fast again. Excellent use of the terrain. Incredibly successful diversionary effort against from 2:1 up to as many as 5:1 odds. When you can take the offensive against those odds, you have some significant talent.
