applying any sort of tactic is a reaction based on previous experience and on comparison of available data, which is a work of intellect, not of instinct

if biger and tougher wins, you#d be using german if yer from europe ^^ and ig bier and tougher wins, orks would rule The Germans were superior to all other forces in terms of technology and tactics, Rommel was without a doubt the greatest military genius of the Second World War.

Who won? The Russians. Did the russians have cool tech? No. Did they have excellent tactics? No. The Russians outnumbered the Germans. Want to quote history? Until the Russian counteroffensive, the allies were being beaten back.

Orks are tougher than normal humans, but they're rarely tougher than Astartes, with your odd Nob and Warboss being the only ones who can match an Astartes. Orks would win immedietly if they united, not because they suddenly have tactics, but because you have countless numbers of enemies rushing at you who can break your neck with their fist. It's why the Tyranids are currently the greatest threat to all life, not Chaos.
