Ow... I am sorry for that accident. Even if I never lived something like that (can't be able to do something you like because you have an injury that slow you down), I can imagine how frustrating it might be. At least to the people like us, there is still a way to live all kind of things (martial arts, love, etc) without living it directly: the books. That's something I really like about the novels, they let you.. err... be someone else, let's say, or live another thing through the characters.

About the tactics... It's true there are some Servants who have Military Tactics, but... right now there are six of them: Iskander, Nobunaga, Atilla, Gaius Julius Caesar, Hector and Gilles de Rais (Saber). Of those six, four of them are only from F/GO (Attila Gaius, Hector and Gilles), so their Military Tactics is just a game-skill with system-use. Nobunaga isn't only from F/GO, but from... Koha-Ace? But I think that work doesn't have a proper story or character development (I am not sure, correct me if I am wrong). Only Iskander have that skill and is in a novel where we can see how he use those Military Tactics.

Unfortunately, even when we can see in Fate/Zero how he have some kind of tactician attitude sometimes, it's very little, maybe because he is too focused on enjoy the modern world, or because maybe the enemies he is facing doesn't deserve it (only Gilgamesh, and there is no tactic against Enuma Elish).

In my opinion it would be really wonderful to see a Holy Grail War with real Military Tactics used by Servants. Something I liked about Fate/Zero is how the war wasn't only "Ok, I'll go in the enemy base and attack him from the front door". No, they use the head. Kiritsugu use tricks, cheats and cruel strategies. Kirei let Gilgamesh kill one of their hundreds of Assassin to make all the Masters believe that Servant is dead, etc. But it would be even more awesome to see the tactics and the mind games (like Code Geass but more serious and dark) between legendary strategist. I mean... Kirei and Kiritsugu maybe are genious, maybe know a lot about tactics, but they are only babies compared to Kenshin, to Zhuge Liang (at least the "platonic" Zhuge Liang), against Sun Tzu, etc.
