I am very glad whenever you come and bestow such gems upon us! ♥
It is odd about the battles; I have never understood tactics or strategy (I am not even sure, off-hand, which is which) and have always hated getting involved in fights of any kind; but my books being the kind they are, I almost inevitably do get involved with them, and somehow I have generally contrived to make them work.
I think many writers who find themselves in a position where they have to write battles (and similar action sequences) relate to this sentiment conveyed by Sutcliff... just contrive to make it work, not sure which is which. :)
