IV. Tactical Dispositions by OutriderIvyHill

Voldemort’s gotta make a mistake sometime. Be ready for it when it comes.
Take advantage of the Earth factor. Fight on familiar ground so you can set traps? Also related to fighting on your own terms.
Don’t worry about the public’s approval (ignore the stupid Prophet articles.) The public doesn’t know the details of the war and can’t. The Prophet is a rag of lies. You would do well to ignore them regardless of topic. I do not doubt that you remember last year’s articles on the Tournament?
You win by making no mistakes. (How do you make no mistakes??)
Fighting in and of itself isn’t the goal. If you can win without a fight, do it. Keep end goal in mind. (How can I kill Voldemort without fighting him?) It seems unlikely, it is true. However, do not forget the first note you made on this chapter; the Dark Lord may make a mistake that will leave him vulnerable in a way you do not expect. Do not miss a chance to win just because you are looking for a traditional fight.
