This information is from "Battles of the Clans". More information for role playing.
Graywing the wise led Windclan many,many moons ago, before "star was added to leaders' names. He won the reputation for being te greatest leader of any clan, thanks to his attention to battle strategy.He realized that the most important element of any battle was the position of warriors before and during combat. Using small stones and marks made by sticks on the floor of his den, he developed tactics for every sort of battle, even on Windclan's open moorland territory, where there were no natural hiding places or traps.
1.Approach from above your enemy.
The advantage of gaining greater speed at the enemy, who will be weakened by having to fight uphill.
2.Use the light from the sun.
The sun should be behind you to dazzle the enemy. In greenleaf, the midday sun is especially bright and cruel to cats who are used to skulking under the cover of trees. In leaf-bare, the low sun hovers around the eye line like a troublesome bee; keeo your enemies facing it, and they'll have trouble seeing an attack from any direction.
3. Know where the wind is coming from.
If there is a strong wind, it should blow from behind you toward the enemy, blinding them with dust and holding them back like the current of a river. If you wish to preserve the element of surprise, the wind should blow from enemy position toward you so that your scent is carried away from them.
4. Conceal the size of your force.
The number of cats in your battle patrols can be hidden to confuse the enemy from a distance. Cats packed tightly together will appear as a small attacking force, encouraging the enemy to be overconfident and make poor strategic decisions. Alternatively, if cats are spread out single file, they will look like a solid border of warriors, which will seem impenetrable to an advancing enemy.
5.Attack both ends of the enemy line first.
If both ends of the enemy's line are defeated, the cats in the center of the line will have to fight on two fronts. Even if they are not outnumbered, they will be outflanked, vulnerable, and in disarray.
6. Keep fresh warriors in reserve.
Always have adequate reserves of fresh, fit warriors behind the battle line. They will be able to replace injured warrors, launch a separate attack if the enemy tries to encircle your forces, or fend off a surprise enemy from the rear. If the battle is in your favor, finish it by sending your reserve warriors behind the enemy line to surround them and demand surrender.
7. Feigned retreat and ambush.
A group of strong cats charges at the enemy, screeching, then turns around and withdraws. Repeat this until the infuriated enemy finally breaks its line and gives chase. Then the trap is sprung. Other warriors positioned in rabbit holes and in dips in the ground----out of the enemies' eye line--- attack as soon as your opponents have gone past. The enemy is caught between two bodies of attacking cats and will quickly surrender.
