"We've covered the basics of strategy, tactics, and the art of war for the past four months, and as you all know, and I would hope you do, considering how long we went over the sixth modules, that war is not merely a clash of strength, but a passionate duel of strategy. Strategy is everything. You cannot hope to win a war without it," Instructor Stein said as she paced in front of the lecture hall.
The cadets were all seated, attention rapt as they typed away in their watches and their tablets.
"Strategy isn't always intelligence and wit, but it's about prediction. Being able to be ten steps ahead of your enemy and finding a way out, even if there isn't one. Of course, that doesn't mean you can go in without using your head. Please, my dear cadets, use your heads wisely."
