Tactics (band)
Tactics are a post-punk group which formed in Canberra in 1977. The line-up changed periodically, with songwriter and vocalist, David Studdert, as the mainstay. They released four studio albums, ''My Houdini'' (December 1980), ''Glebe'' (November 1981), ''Blue and White Future Whale'' (1986) and ''The Great Gusto'' (1990). Which were critically acclaimed and they were respected for the quality of their live performances. However, they did not achieve wider commercial success and remained largely unacknowledged outside of the alternative independent music scene. Their reputation for running against the grain musically, lyrically, and stylistically was described by Bob Blunt as "frenetic, discordant, ndfull of unusual rhythms." Tactics disbanded late in 1989 and Studdert relocated to London. Since then, Tactics have played in Sydney 2006, 2008 and 2019). David Studdert has played periodically with ex-Tactics members in other projects. History Formation and early years Tactic ...

Tactics (game)
''Tactics'' is a board wargame published in 1954. Primitive by modern standards, it was nonetheless the birth of modern wargaming for the commercial market, and generally credited as being the first commercially successful printed (ie. board) wargame. History ''Tactics'' was designed by Charles S. Roberts in 1953, and self-published in 1954 under the company name of The Avalon Game Company. Roberts sold the game on a mail order basis from his home in Catonsville (outside Baltimore) for the next six years, selling 2,000 copies and barely breaking even. The design was similar to other wargames published in England and elsewhere over the previous half-century. It was unique as a self-contained printed product for the commercial market not requiring miniatures or building a map. ''Tactics II'' is a revised version published by Avalon Hill in 1958, then reissued in 1961 and 1973. It is nearly identical in all respects, albeit with a slightly revised map and more detailed unit counte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cricket (darts)
Cricket is a darts game that uses the standard 20 number dartboard with the triple and double rings. Gameplay Cricket is typically played between 2, 3 or 4 players, or teams of players, although the rules do not discount more players. The goal of cricket is to be the first player to open or close all the cricket numbers and have a higher or even point total. Cricket numbers Cricket uses the numbers 15 to 20 (or sometimes 10 to 20, and less frequently a predetermined selection of numbers) and the bull's-eye. To open or close a number, it must have been scored three times in any fashion, on one or more turns. Hitting the triple can open or close a number in one throw; a single and the double can open or close it in two throws or three singles can open or close it in three throws. Except in strict variants which count down from 20 to 15, numbers do not have to be opened or closed in any particular order and several numbers can be hit in the same turn. A scoreboard is used to keep tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Military Tactics
Military tactics encompasses the art of organizing and employing fighting forces on or near the battlefield. They involve the application of four battlefield functions which are closely related – kinetic or firepower, Mobility (military), mobility, protection or security, and Shock tactics, shock action. Tactics are a separate function from command and control and logistics. In contemporary military science, tactics are the lowest of three levels of warfighting, the higher levels being the military strategy, strategic and Operational level of war, operational levels. Throughout history, there has been a shifting balance between the four tactical functions, generally based on the application of military technology, which has led to one or more of the tactical functions being dominant for a period of time, usually accompanied by the dominance of an associated Combat arms, fighting arm deployed on the battlefield, such as infantry, artillery, cavalry or tanks.

Tactic (video Game)
''Tactic'' is a video game, originally released for the Acorn Archimedes in 1990 by Eterna. It takes the form of a falling block puzzle. Gameplay ''Tactic'' is a falling block puzzle as popularised by the game ''Tetris''. Unlike that game, all of the blocks are the same size but are a number of different colours (and on systems that cannot display enough colours, different shapes). The aim of the game is to drop the blocks so that blocks of the same colour form set patterns (e.g. a line in a set direction or a cross). The patterns required to complete the level are shown at the bottom of the screen. If a required pattern is formed, those blocks disappear causing any blocks resting above to fall. The iOS version adds bombs. Release The game was first released in 1990 for the Acorn Archimedes by Eterna.

Chess Tactics
In chess, a tactic is a sequence of moves that each makes one or more immediate threats ─ that is, a check, a material threat, a checkmating sequence threat, or the threat of another tactic ─ which culminates in the opponent being unable to respond to all of the threats without conceding an immediate benefit to the opponent. Most often, the immediate benefit takes the form of a material advantage or checkmating attack; however, some tactics are used for defensive purposes and can salvage material that would otherwise be lost, or to induce stalemate in an otherwise lost position. Tactics are usually contrasted with strategy, whereby the individual moves by themselves don't make indefensible threats, and the cumulative advantage of the moves takes longer to be capitalised on. In rough terms, the dichotomy can be summarised as tactics concerning short-term play and strategy concerning long-term play. Examples of strategic advantages are weaknesses in, compromised pawn structure ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
