“Pitch Battle Against the Nephites”

Brant Gardner

Moroni’s innovations at defense did not take long to become standard. Most likely from this time on there was little serious warfare without defensive armaments as well as offensive weapons. Once the value of the innovation was understood, it was widely adopted, and became a standard part of warfare. The Nephites loose their technological advantage, and the theoretical advantage now shifts to other things.
