Tactical strategy games are all about positioning your units in the best possible position for a future attack, and current protection. These games require you to think about the tactics of battle in an attempt to gain the upper hand on your opponent. You often have a team to command with each unit offering different pros and cons to balance as you position them on the map. This genre is one of the highlights of strategy.
