Assaulting the same position

Assaulting the same position over and over again...even when they have Heavy Ints is like:

On December 13, the "grand division" of Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin was able to pierce the first defensive line of Confederate Lieutenant General Stonewall Jackson to the south, but was finally repulsed. Burnside ordered the grand divisions of Maj. Gens. Edwin V. Sumner and Joseph Hooker to make multiple frontal assaults against Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's position on Marye's Heights, all of which were repulsed with heavy losses. On December 15, Burnside withdrew his army, ending another failed Union campaign in the Eastern Theater.

Certainly, under many circumstances, such a strategy is ill conceived. There are times however when keeping your eye on the prize is the cost of victory.

It does work sometimes.
