Focus Fire

Focus fire is a battle control gameplay technique. Focusing fire means getting all your units in the current engagement to fire on a single enemy unit to kill it quicker. By default units will fire on healing units, then whatever unit they can kill quickest, then buildings.

If identical forces engage and one uses focus fire while one uses uniform fire the uniform fire group will start losing fire power quicker, leading into the focus firers to winnig the fight.

Excess focus firing may cause units to give up opportunities to fire against units in order to get a better position against one particular enemy unit. When a big group engages a single enemy unit the likelyhood that units on the edge do not have a clear shot right away increases.
