 In battlefield strategy, he splits his forces into small groups which raid Clan manors, execute anyone vaguely related to the Clan, then melt back into the forest.This causes panicked requests for aid from the Clan's lesser allies, spreading the Clan forces thinly; this is compared to the strategic hamlets in the Vietnam War, where similar insurgency tactics were used.After spreading the Clan out, Egon seeks to concentrate the core Clan members so they can be annihilated; this requires a risky concentration of his own forces, but through misdirection and treachery, he and his ally Baron Otto Neuhalle take the key Hjalmar Palace the Clan held.
