Description
Clausewitz defines strategy as the employment of the battle as the means towards the attainment of the object of war. For our games, we obviously do the same, stringing together our isolated wins into one overall victory of the tournament or event.

The real trick is knowing how to combine all of that together with the necessary minutia, timing, and execution required for it all to work. The concepts are easy, the application less so.
