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."

Re: Take the Final -- Q4 (Bonus)
The first thing I'd do would be to assemble those who had scouting capabilities--trackers, empaths, mind-readers, people who are good at sneaking, intelligent animals, folks who can talk to animals, ninjas, etc--and send them over to gather intelligence about our enemies. I can't decide what kind of preemptive strike I'd use until I knew more about them. What kind of force do they have? Weak points? Bipedal or not? Tech level? Sapient or just sentient? Defensive capabilities? Magic? This past week, the invader was capable of nullifying our magic without affecting his own. Knowing whether or not this is something this new invaders can do is going to change my overall strategy. Can they only go out after dark like vampires?
I can't give you an idea of what I would do for a preemptive strike until I know more about the kind of enemy we're dealing with. Even if they're humans with weapons, knowing their numbers and capabilities is imperative to any plans I make. Proficient with just martial weaponry, magic, or both? Swords, guns, or plasma rifles? I'm not going to make plans until I have enough intel to justify it.
