military strategy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fabian strategy is a military strategy in which one side avoids the other and avoids pitched battles and frontal assaults.
The object is to wear down the opponent by a "war of attrition" and to harass the enemy by skirmishes to weaken it, disrupt its supply and affect its morale.
The strategy is employed by a side that believes that time is on its side, but it may also be adopted when no other strategy is possible.
