Macro-Tactics, Monday

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Now, this is a class on macro-tactics. Top down. That's the theory." Kerrigan was grinning like a shark today. The walls of their usual Danger Shop hideout weren't metal this time, either. They were solid brick, old brick, cracked brick. "But sometimes, you need to know a little bit about what goes on on the floor to make it work."

Her eyes slid across the students, looking for Blackagar if he was there. "Some of you wanted to know how to combat the tactics we talked about last week," she said. "I'm graciously giving you a chance to figure it out for yourself. Let's do this the classic way."

She kicked open a door in the corner of the room. "Medieval castle," she said, smoothly. "You're surrounded right now, and your enemy's going to be trying all kinds of tactics to get in here. You can command whatever moddable NPC soldiers, archers and knights you run into. I have five kinds of battle stations. Pick yours, swap it around if you're through with it. You do learn by doing..."

Cally's ability to fight with anything that didn't have a trigger was nigh unto nil; she'd be more of a handicap than a help on the front lines of this siege.

She felt a little guilty about that, which was ridiculous in a simulated environment -- but what might happen if she were to find herself without modern weapons?

Something else to add to the ever-growing list of things she ought to learn, then.
