Linear Warfare

Ways to wage war chronally and the play paradigm emphasising the start-to-end nature of the timeline.

Rushing

Most of the times it's better to shop up for the battle early than late. An early arriver can more easily designate the place of battle and can form into formations more freely

Retreat

Doing something while not overcommitting at times calls to blatantly disengage the enemy. Players not going for linear warfare often use undo and counterfactual operations for similar means. The upside of linear retreat compared to these methods is that any actions managed before the retreat are persistent.
