Also, it depends on the type of strategist he is. Raeven did not describe him as being directly useful in the fight itself, or say he was a field commander at all. Troop deployment, Troop composition, Strategic planning, and Logistics can all be done on the drawing board. He may not even have been at Kattze at all... or he could have been stationed far in the back where he could have gotten away fairly easily.

I'm kind of assuming he wasn't even there. If he really did have control of all of Raeven's troops and was deployed *on site*, it would make the most sense for him to be *with* Raeven. Logically, he would actually have been back at Raeven's domain in charge of the troops left back to protect it. (If I were Raeven, and his Strategist is a commoner like it's stated... like hell would I let the other Kingdom Nobles even catch sight of him. If they know what he looks like - they could try to assassinate him or use the fact that he's a commoner against me.)
