Tactics is the collective name for methods of winning a small-scale conflict, performing an optimization, etc. This applies specifically to warfare, but also to economics, trade, games and a host of other fields such as negotiation.
Tactics and strategy are often confused.
- Tactics are the actual means used to gain a goal.
- Strategy is the overall plan.
An example of the difference:
- The overall goal is to win a war against another country.
- The strategy is to undermine the other nation's ability to wage war by annihilating their military.
- The tactics (told to the combatants) are to do very specific things in a specific place.
There is also an anime by the name of Tactics.
