Atactical event (Also known as a "Private Battle" in theUnited Kingdom and elsewhere) is a type ofhistorical reenactment, andwargame not usually open to the public,[1] which is fought like a real battle with each side devising strategies and tactics to defeat their opponent(s). Tactical events have no script, a basic set of agreed-upon rules (physical boundaries, time limit, victory conditions, etc.), and onsite judges or referees,[2] and so could be considered a form oflive action role-playing game orwargame. Tactical battles might also be considered a form ofexperimental archaeology.[3]
