Strategy is high level. And usually pretty light on details. For example, a policy to increase spending on public education by X per capita is a strategy.Tactics is the nitty gritty. A programme that specifies spending X dollars on new teachers, Y dollars on improved IT in classrooms, and Z dollars on programmes for kids with special needs would be a tactic. Or perhaps a series of tactics.Exactly where the line falls between the strategy and tactics is open to a lot of debate.An example in gaming terms might be... Strategy: the PCs decide they must take out the BBEG's main thug before moving on to the BBEG themself. Knowing the thug has fire powers the PCs load up on anti fire options: resist fire spells, cold spells, fire extinguishers, and aloe vera.Tactics: once the PCs meet Fire Thug they lay down some fire resistance spells then the meat shield engages in hand to hand and tanks. While Fire Thug is busy the spell-slinger deploys a big cold attack spell, and the archer tries to keep Fire Thug's mini-thugs out of the action. Yada, yada, yada.</blockquote>
