Characterised by skilful manoeuvring (8)

I believe the answer is:

tactical

(Other definitions for tactical that I've seen before include "Done to support skilful planning" , "Clever - prudent" , "Calculated" , "Strategic" , "Relating to manoeuvres in the presence of the enemy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
