What? 'combat focused' is a shameful thing?
The source material I referenced use the following explanation:How do you define 'tactics' and 'strategy'?
The source material I referenced use the following explanation:
"Strategic" means "a perspective larger than the immediate future and surroundings". "Tactical" means "a perspective focused on the immediate future and the immediate surroundings."
"Invade the Normandy beaches on D-Day" is Strategic. "Take out that bunker before the machine gun kills us all!" is Tactical.

But why would someone like one over the other? We need to know, otherwise somebody could just be choosing one based on some very peripheral connotation.
I feel like I have an important point here but that's as best as I can express it at the moment.
Personally, I view strategy and tactics as being equally important, so I am unsure of how to answer the poll.
Nicely put.However, the problem with that is that I absolutely hate 'story-driven' games.
The story is what you tell after the game is over, not the path that the pcs are expected to follow, and unfortunately, most storyteller style games involve following a specific plotline (the story).
