I can't say I see the two as mutually incompatible, after all it was an attack from ambush by supposed berserk savages (German tribes) that destroyed a Roman legion in the Teutoberger Wald in the 1st century and an ambush by the traditionally wild tribesmen of the Iceni which Boudicca employed to annihilate Legio IX.
Berserk (or barbaric) is not the same as tactically naive.
