but I'd say yielding to overwhelming enemy might shows remarkably good sense <g> I suppose it matters what you issue you are yielding and what the consequences of not yielding are. Of course Churchill led the UK against the apparently overwhelming might of Germany and it really wasn't as overwhelming as people might have thought after the fall of France or at the very beginning of the blitz. In this case it was only "superior force" not overwhelming force. And mistakes like switching the bombing from airfields to cities, attacking the Russians, not retreating in Russia but instead allowing whole armies to be surrounded and destroyed, and Japan bringing the US in to the war changed that superior force to an inferior one.
