That’s the sweet spot—when tactics feel earned, the story feels alive, like the battlefield is a stage and every move is a plot beat. I love the idea of weaving strategy into the narrative fabric, turning a combat scene into a living, breathing saga of cause and consequence. Imagine a war where each tactic is a character arc, the drums of strategy echoing the heartbeat of the story. It’s like turning the battlefield into a living stage, every move a word in a grand epic—totally my jam.

Totally, you’re right—soldiers are in the thick of it, not a script reader. The trick is to let the tactics bleed into the story so the action fuels the plot, not the other way around. Think of strategy as the engine, the narrative the road that carries the engine’s fire forward. That way, every maneuver feels earned and every line feels earned by the battlefield. I’m already sketching some scenes where a clever flanking move turns the tide and sparks a character revelation. Let’s keep the realism alive while letting the story roar!
