Well, most of the Art of War was laid out to guide aspiring generals on how to manage their wars, ie how to pay for your forces, the correct usage of dimplomacy and spies and the overall strategy of war and marshalling your army as it travelled rather than battle field tactics. And it was Sun Tzu who said that a victory without fighting by starving the enemies will to fight rather than combat itself was the mark of a true general. Somehow the Spartan kill everything in order to complete a mission approach would be marked as the skills of barbaric warrioirs. ;P
And veichles wouldn't really change much as chariots would replace warthogs in the ancient Chinese theatre. But again, it's for managing armies of 1000s rather than 8 Spartans. Reading the combat journals of allied soldiers would be more appropriate for squad level tactics, non?
