Who would be more in favor of a Guerrilla war instead of a battlefield war?

This type of war would be far more fitting to the fighting style of RWBY. Huntsmen, for the most part, don't unleash huge attacks or fight in lines but instead operate like vigilantes, lone wolves, or in very specific roles.

If a Guerrilla story is done right then it could be a hit. In France, films like "Is Paris Burning?" that depicted urban guerrilla warfare were box office hits. In America, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan (best movie of all time?), Inglorious Bastards, Full Metal Jacket, Red Dawn, and Rambo are examples of good guerrilla war arcs done right.

Meanwhile stories of large battles like "The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies" fall flat on their face.

One thing that Anime and culture in general struggles with, is telling a story of an indepth war from start to finish. Instead of this, I think that if RWBY were to focus on more personal and emotional stories (which is more applicable to a Guerrilla war) while the war develops in the backround then Miles and Kerry will be a lot more successful. But thats just one man's opinion.
