In my mind, the to words mean the same. But there are tactical and strategic weapons in warfare. So i’m missing something. Other example: chess. Is it strategy or tactic?

Strategy: your general plan of action / direction to achieve a goal.

Tactics: The (specific) means/actions by which you achieve your strategy.

Another way to put it: tactics are the specific steps/tasks you undertake to carry out your strategy.

Example:

Goal: To reduce costs for your business.

Strategy: Reduce overhead

Tactics: 1. Cut payroll/lay people off 2. Review all vendors and put out new bids to find lower cost options
