	** Tactical - A game that focuses thematically or practically on a single actor or small group per player. A tactical game might involve one person traveling through the game of Life and accumulating a family, or managing the staff at a pizza restaurant, or operating a squad or platoon-sized unit in a war game. For the purposes of these classifications, tactical games involve small groups and single fields of play or battlefields. Sim City would be tactical, Civilization would not. A company-on-company Battletech game is tactical, a game of Succession Wars is not. Board Game Geek recognizes the operational scale between strategic and tactical.

The field of play is likely to be a system of hexes or squares, or a tabletop with model terrain. Wargames typically lack the linear progression of a board game—i.e., players can choose to move a piece in multiple directions, not simply along a track leading to the end of the game.		** Wargame - For the purposes of this game taxonomy, a wargame is a game whose theme is linked to combat, though it may include economy and politics as well.
