Grand strategy

Grand strategy is a way to help you figure out what actions you are going to take in order to achieve a long-term goal. Think of it like a map that shows you where you want to go. You can look at the map and figure out what steps you need to take in order to get to your destination. You might need to take certain roads, find certain resources, or make certain decisions in order to reach your goal. Grand strategy helps you plan and make decisions about how to best get to where you're going.
