You learn that a good tactic never relies on a single trick, that timing and positioning beat brute force every time, that you must anticipate the enemy’s next move, and that a well‑chosen flank or a quick withdrawal can turn the tide. In practice I always stick to what works on the ground, not what looks flashy on paper.

I keep my mind clear by staying focused on the basics: keep my eyes on the battlefield, listen for the enemy’s breathing and footfall, and never let emotions take the lead. I use a rhythm—one breath in, one out—to maintain composure. When the heat rises, I remind myself that each decision is a calculation, not an instinct. That focus lets me spot the next move before it even happens.
