History nut. My specialty is ancient warfare, but we're in a universe where swordsman are still elite troops, so my thoughts there might actually help some.

As someone with a great interest in military affairs and a degree in history I'd be happy to help you out. Gods know, I've been trying to get this board to be a little more warlike and large scale with its invasions.
So hit me up sometime on Skype or PM.

Not wanting to intrude in someone else's thread, but I could use some tips and guidance as well (probably should have asked a lot earlier, but nonetheless).

Again, i am a big time military history buff, spend alot of time researching old wars, tactics, and other such related things. Also have experience in military rotc classes for Army and AF. Plus im a massive fan of star wars ships and planets, so their territory and tactics in space are easy for me. So if you ever have any questions just add me on skype at David_Tharkosa.

Looking for any help possible. I should throw in that I'm actually after strategy not tactics, thanks to Sarge for clearing that up with me :x

Strategy? Run screaming at the enemy! Actually no you need better tactics than that... And then I am only one man who only takes on 1 to 6 people.

Well Strategy is a broad subject, what exactly are you looking for when you say strategy Kara? @[member="Kära Vi'dreya"]
I recommend @[member="Tegaea Alcori"] to help you since he actually has a degree in history. Or something close.
I can tell you how to adapt tactical and strategic stuff in role-play, though.

But yeah in essence, best bet is to read a book like art of war by sun tzu.
I'll give you a good quote for starters:
The best warfare strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, next is to attack alliances, next is to attack the army, and the worst is to attack a walled city
http://www.sonshi.com/sun3.html - There has been many re-writes to his work, often you end up now with books that contain his quotes and then other generals or leaders that quote his quotes and interpret them.
I know my tactics but I tend to make characters that just say to heck with them at times to play the hero, the force gives you the opportunity to build around concepts that otherwise might not work out quite as well in real life. Creative freedom and all that jazz. I also like the tension being on the losing side gives you, the dramatic build ups that you get when you break through or turn a desperate situation around. Also the losses and coping with them, overcoming them and letting them make your characters stronger, kinda like real life.
If you ever want a hand, just holla, written more than a few sieges, more than a few fire fights, and just the occasional battle or hundred.
