Macro-Tactics, Monday
An itsy, bitsy spider had snuck onto Char, or close enough; minutes before class, Kerrigan had gotten the report on Zeratul's current movements, towards the dead body of the Overmind on her own home base. She, predictably, had feelings on the matter, and those feelings had a great deal to do with the importance of locating the wayward protoss over teaching this class.
So please excuse her if she didn't look entirely interested in you all today, children.
"I've fought with armies that had a minimal amount of manpower, and still managed to do great damage by thinking strategically," she said, "And I've served with armies that had an endless supply of men, and not a single creative thought between the lower ranks." Possibly because they were all mindless flesh-eating monster-bugs, but a la, you try explaining the zerg to anybody. "Before you put in some noble 'clearly the former won' shit, no, they didn't. A lot of the time, manpower will get you bad unless you know how to get some serious firepower otherwise."
A beat.
"That doesn't mean that occasionally, the enemy can't send a rogue entity past your lines, for a scouting method or suchlike, and go undetected. Take today as a case study. What would you recommend if you had an endless supply of disposable labour, and a flea in your pelt that none of them seem to manage to grasp?"
She pointed to the door.
"Or play the flea in the pelt and see how far it gets you."
Well, at least she was a woman with a plan today.
