Editing Dragon Clan (section)

===Tactics===
The Dragon Clan army is of average size and seldom seen in full-on wars; most conflicts with them are confined to either the courts or minor skirmishes, making the times they show up for a scrap that isn't territorial defence stand out in everyone's memories. Even then, while they acquit themselves well, the question that sticks out even more is "But why, though?" because their motives are seldom clear. And because their lands don't produce much food, they can seldom afford to supply an offensive force of their own.

The military tactics of the Dragons are mostly applied in the context of defence; because they seldom invade other Clans, most of their battles involve an aggressor marching their army into Dragon lands. They soon learn why that's a classic blunder on the level of invading Russia in winter. See, the Dragons are already expert pathfinders and survivalists who are able to nimbly navigate the thickly forested and steep mountain terrain they call home. Their martial and magical skills are admirable and make them a fierce and versatile combined-arms force beyond their lands, even earning a reputation as fighters above more scholarly Clans, but their true specialty lies in exploiting these talents to lethal effect against any would-be conquerors when they fight on the mountains.

Invaders have to contend with the mountain forests of Dragon lands slowing their movements to a crawl and making them easy pickings for the locals. In fact, the climb up is so dangerous that it's no exaggeration to say that the terrain does half their work for them: soldiers fall to their deaths, get separated from their units, lose track of supply convoys, die of exposure to rough weather, or worse. Meanwhile, spread throughout the forests, the Dragons wait for the right time to strike, whether by cutting off and eliminating enemy squads piecemeal in ambushes or luring them into bottlenecks to limit how much force they can project. They may be specialized for their own lands, but the unorthodox mindset and skills of the Dragons serve them well as experts in terrain and guerrilla warfare that would make the [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]] proud.
