Sorry to bring this back on topic.
I can't take any credit for the attached. It's just a compilation of threads I found here on the subject of Strategy. I'm sure I've missed many, but it should provided other newbies a starting point. I've edited it to read top to bottom, stripped out signatures and board lines, and mixed several threads together in what seemed to me to be a readable fashion. Apologies to anyone whose "deathless prose" has been mangled.
