Macro-Tactics, Monday

"Good morning," Kerrigan began, shooting an irritated glance around the class. "Most of you were absent last week. I'm sure that as a mitigating factor, you'll suggest the invasion and the fact that all of you came out alive--" Try to sound even less impressed, Kerrigan. "--but the honest truth is that I don't care. You will be tested on last week's material."

She had a stack of tests lying next to her on the desk. "You have the full hour to answer all of these questions," she said. "Be as comprehensive as you can be. Use your own home situation as the basis of every case, unless you don't have a home, in which case I suggest you use the United States', seeing as how that's where we're based."

"Any questions?" She didn't wait for questions. "Good. Get writing."

Glacia was a cold and mountainous Territory. Assuming that her enemy wasn't completely stupid and invaded during the winter (which would really be convenient), she couldn't just evacuate her people up to the mountains and let the weather do a lot of the dirty work for her. Instead, she decided she would once again open relations with Arceria, as anyone who invaded Glacia probably wouldn't stop when they hit a Territory people only by giant cats, even if those cats were devastating hunters and witches.

Then, as much as she hated doing so, she began to tally how the landscape itself could be used as a weapon. Mountain lochs meant flash floods, especially in the lowland areas, like around the capital. Avalanches and rockfalls. If they had to, they could employ a scorched earth policy and burn everything behind them in a retreat to the mountains.

Kerrigan would be able to notice that Karla's strategies pretty much ran to: defend, protect, and then mount an offensive. Get her people out and safe, and then employ guerrilla tactics against the invaders, using the terrain to their advantage.
