FE7 brings up an interesting concept - the player as a tactician

For other FEs though (like Magvel), I imagine it to be the high ranking people coming up with a plan during a strategic meeting, with messengers running between the different units if necessary, and the sergeants and commanders of each units to adapt to the conditions on the battlefield.

This is how I see it working for Magvel in particular, and for FE11 as well. But I find the whole FE7 Tactician business to be rather ridiculous, honestly. The idea of one single person out there on the battlefield literally shouting at everyone... doesn't really compute for me. Even for a small and unconventional force.

Well. Either that or... magic.

Haha, I never thought of that. It IS awesome.
