 The battle of Assietta, from a strategic point of view, marked the beginning of a stalemate in regards to the military operations that were being conducted in Italy, while from a tactical point of view, made apparent the failure of the French army's combat tactics, which primarily consisted of massed bayonet assaults in column formations without bothering to ensure the columns had sufficient support in the form of covering fire.For both sides, particularly in the French army and the Sardinians, the campaign of 1747 had finally dried up all materiel and human reserves either side could throw into the campaign, forcing Louis XV and Charles Emanuele III to reconsider the possibility of negotiating a peace.The following year, at the Treaty of Aix-la-Chappelle, marked the end of the War of the Austrian Succession.
