HAMMER AND ANVIL
In the 1980s Peru's Shining Path Insurgency was in full bloom. It's actions were based on the ideological belief that communism was a superior economic system. The Shining Path used violent means of killing civilians indiscriminately to include chopping off hands and heads.
After violent and ineffective fighting by government forces, the nexus was found. The Peruvian government gave villagers shot guns to decisively engage the insurgents until the army arrived. The villagers became the anvil and the army became the hammer, and finished off the insurgents.

I don't have a scorecard handy but I still like my Favorite one and I'd say those that fought were Successful. The American Revolutionary War. I think Great Grandpa William Dawes did a pretty good job with his Friend Paul Revere.

BOUDICCA VS. THE ROMANS
Boudicca was an English Warrior Queen who was able to galvanize most of the English tribes into one fighting force reported to be 200,000 warriors. The Roman presence of soldiers in England was light which gave her the opportunity to burn down three cities to include London. She was running amok in England until she made a fatal tactical flaw. A Roman army of 40,000 with a forest to their back and flanks waited for Boudicca's force. The 200,000 English warriors charged the Romans, thus causing a quagmire with no elbow room to use weapons. The English were completely demolished.
