I was reading in the book A Game of Thrones by Guardians of Order that skills had specializations such as Knowledge: Warfare having specializations in Logistics, Strategy, Tactics, and so on. When it comes down to it is it worth spending Skill Points in specializations of a skill or stay with the general branch of the knowledge skill. I want to know are there any specific benefits to specializing your knowledge skills or other skills that allow to specialize them?

Are you asking for rules advice about a different game? I don't know how much luck you're going to have here.

I'm not familiar with skill specialization, nor do I recall there being a listed Knowledge (Warfare). If you're talking about a specific campaign setting or alternate rules system, try finding a forum for that setting.

If you're looking for specialization in DnD skills, you may want to look at Skill Tricks in Complete Scoundrel. I think this is the closest you'll come.

Warfare is covered in Nobility & Royality, History, Local and Architecture & Engineering.

May be som other ones. Take a look in Complete Warrior and Heroes of Battle.
