- Knowing how to move your forces effectively will conserve energy and help you do the most with the least effort. It takes strategy and planning to do this!!
- Communication between portions of forces also related to effectiveness. (What kind of magical communications are there besides owl or charmed parchments?) The Patronus charm may be used to transport messages in an emergency. The animal will find whatever person you send it to and tell them the message in your own voice. Not very practical during a battle, but often communication methods are set on a case-by-case basis.
- Two types of maneuvers: direct and indirect. Use each to design movements in battle and wider strategies. Momentum of a fight is important too.
- Hiding organization and strength in false chaos will distract the enemy, make them underestimate you, and give you opportunity to strike.
- You can use bait to keep the enemy moving and wasting their energy. (Remember: deception!! Distract Voldemort by sending him chasing after false leads since he’s looking for me?) We will discuss this.
