A Discussion of tactics

[Sir Tristram]

Tristram peers at those assembled for a moment, and then asks "Well, it rather depends who's fighting who, doesn't it? Largely, it's a matter of standards. The rabble, those with no real dignity... they'll just burn down havens, send ghouls to attack during the day and avoid direct conflict in favour of attacking our glaring weaknesses. But, since we're better than that-" those present get a meaningful look from the Nosferatu, who continues "-I assume we're discussing open violence between Kindred? In which case, it's largely a matter of interplay between the two party's skill-sets."
He gestures idly at those present, and states "For example, I make use of potence and obfuscate, right? So, I want fights which favour those disciplines while minimising the effects of my enemy's disciplines. So, tight quarters with plenty of cover, that allow you to hide and ambush easily and which force all violence into extremely close quarters where a sudden application of brute strength can be brought to bare. Which means, basically, tunnel fighting. If I'm fighting a Toreador, meanwhile, they'll want to operate at a distance, so their advantage in speed is most useful, and with plenty of visibility so that they could get the most use out of presence. Against the tzimisce, meanwhile, their fleshcrafting allows them great flexibility in how they fight, but takes time to apply. Thus, with them it's most important to attack before they can prepare, rather than picking your ground carefully."

[Jean-Jacques]

The Frenchman looks around at sir Tristram,

‘Might I be so bold, elder sir Tristram as to enquire as to tactics best employed in group endeavours to combat the enemies of the ivory tower.?”

Jean-Jacques shifts his position and glances at each, careful not to make direct eye contact with the elders present

“Rather than leading us into a conversation of personal styles, let’s us perhaps consider how we may, as a group, combat the foes that threaten our own existence by their very beliefs “

“Myself, I will admit that mine own knowledge in such a fray to be comewhat limited and I look to those of greater experience to guide me in such conflict should the need arise to take to the field and face a foe, such as we by blood.”
