Alternative Tactics, Wednesday Period One, 28/11
Back in a classroom today. Not that it mattered much.
"Today we're going to discuss some nice hypotheticals," Lieutenant Kerrigan spoke, tapping the wall behind her with a stick. It had a map projected onto it - cycling through the class was a series of still images of defensive positions. "The major objective in operating a tiny squad is to create a swift, decisive offensive that hits your opponent in critical weak spots. Decisive being the key word here. We've discussed finding weak spots in your enemy's defenses before-- and utilising them-- but when practicalities and the battlefield are involved, it's easy to forget the fundamental strategies that are at play here. Sorry, kids, but we're in for some dry sailing here."
She smirked.
"To get you kids a good picture up in those heads of yours of how this works, we're going to be combing through these maps. What are the basic weak spots you can find? Why are they weak spots? How would you use them?" She called up one particular map. "We're dealing with a heavily fortified but rocky terrain in this particular case. Evasive action would be required to pass by here, here and here. If executed well enough, that would mean avoiding enemy placements on either side, allowing us to..."
The class probably knew the drill about Kerrigan and maps by now. "Think in terms of who your opponent is," she said, "What is their objective? Would they crowd around or spread? How safe do they believe they are? Strategies are based in knowledge. Ask the right questions. Every defense has a weak spot. It's just a matter of figuring out their why -- and the rest will come.
The force that's under attack in this file is the long-standing occupation force of another pl--" Pause, "...Nation. How do you get in?"
[wait for the ocd up! ]

so very, very sarcastically, then added very maturely, "Shut up and keep your head in the game."And resumed running her class. With the occasional glance over.

Sokka had taken one look at the images and formulated a strategy immediately. The best strategy? Maybe not. But a good one.
"It's pretty obvious what to do, isn't it?" he asked Peter.
