This article is daunting to look at, let alone read. Let's add pictures and break up the wall into some smaller sections.

[edit] Examples of simlilar tactics belong in "scorched earth" article

Sherman's march through Georgia seems like another, more modern example? Jackrepenning 16:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

It is an example of the general practice of destroying anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area. That practice is commonly referred to as "scorched earth tactics", and the article on that subject includes a reference to Sherman's March to the Sea among its many examples from throughout history. The present article deals with the particular, medieval tactic called "chevauchée" and should not be cluttered with examples of similar tactics from other ages. The "See also" section now contains a link to the scorched earth article to provide historical perspective. --Bwiki 00:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editorializing

75.36.74.73 wrote: This is one type of terrorism adopted later by the new world to over take their enemies "without them being the cause of the attack.". I can't figure out what it means. It sounds like perhaps a garbled translation from another language? As it stands it doesn't make sense so I will remove it unless an explanation is forthcoming. -- Securiger 12:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

To the extent that it makes sense, it is editorializing, very biased and thus unencyclopedic. I removed it. --Bwiki 00:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
