The game allows only one side's plan to succeed, although a player may change plans during the game. There are two different ways of winning the game (see below). Certain strategies and tactics, however, allow both sides the chance of securing a better idea of the other's plan as the game progresses.
Vonnegut, a veteran of World War II, hoped that the game would capture the intricacy of military strategy. In a letter to a potential publisher, he wrote that the game “is similar in mood to chess, and it is played on a standard checkerboard. It has enough dignity and interest, I think, to become the third popular checkerboard game.” [4]
Good strategic leadership practices, with the right balance of the analytic dimension and the human dimension and the discipline and commitment to see the process through during strategy formulation and implementation can be a strong driver to take the “we/they” line much deeper into the organization.

However, some Cournot strategy profiles are sustained as Nash equilibria but can be eliminated as incredible threats (as described above) by applying the solution concept of subgame perfection. Indeed, it is the very thing that makes a Cournot strategy profile a Nash equilibrium in a Stackelberg game that prevents it from being subgame perfect.
In a dynamic game, games that are played over a series of time, the strategy set consists of the possible rules a player could give to a robot or agent on how to play the game. For instance, in the ultimatum game , the strategy set for the second player would consist of every possible rule for which offers to accept and which to reject.
The faults, he says, are mainly caused by the game publishers' and guide publishers' haste to get their products on to the market; [5] "[previously] strategy guides were published after a game was released so that they could be accurate, even to the point of including information changes from late game 'patch' releases.
The game is a rare example of a non trivial game of that kind where optimal strategies can be explicitly found. In addition to military strategy applications, the Colonel Blotto game has applications to political strategy (resource allocations across political battlefields), network defense, R&D patent races, and strategic hiring decisions.
