Derk:

easier when you're not already in there up to the neck.

"Each year, roll 1 die.  On a 1-4, your doctrine remains the same, no
matter how bad the results are or how obviously wrong it is to you, the
wargamer who has 50+ years worth of hindsight.	On a 5-6, you are
permitted to change the doctrine to better suit reality.  DRM -1 if your
generals are appointed on the basis of political connections or
inherited office.  DRM -1 if you have already changed doctrine within
the last 10 years."

It is very easy to have the attitude "This worked last time..."  
It would be interesting to see how often the winner of War #1 turns out
to be the loser, at least for the first couple of years, of War#2.  (not
necessarily WWI and II).
