Working Title: Kerrigan Gambit: From YKTTW
Neenee: What exactly is the difference between this and Let's You and Him Fight? According to the description, it's both about making your enemies fight each other. Couldn't we make this one specifically about pitting allies against each other or something?
Sotanaht Literally, to "divide and conquer" is to split up an enemys resources, typically their forces, in an attempt to weaken a target. This does not mean that one must make the enemy/enemies fight themselves/each other, only that when you attack them, they are weaker because whatever they strength they could have had is otherwise unavailable. In trope though, it seems Divide and Conquer is used to refer specifically to a "Let's You and Him Fight situation where the situation is used to weaken and defeat the enemy. Let's You and Him Fight otherwise can refer to situations where enemys are pitted against each other for the purpose of stalling them.
