The reason for that is because you deal with the game in a strictly tactical manner. There's no "magic mineral" or other resource to harvest/manage and no economy, expansion, or troop pumping to worry about. In general, the troops you start out with are all you get, so a huge premium is placed on efficiency and keeping your troops alive. In some single player missions you'll receive reinforcements but on multiplayer missions, what you see is what you get.}}BungieFantasticalHigh fantasyWIN, MAC, LINSequel to Myth: The Fallen Lords.

| quote = WiC, which has been described by some fans as a real-time tactics game as opposed to a real-time strategy game on account of a distinct lack of base-building, resource gathering and tech trees, took the Cold War as its foundation and extrapolated based on a fictional "what if?" scenario.}}{{Cite web | last = Yin-Poole | first = Wesley | title = WiC Soviet Assault Review | publisher = VideoGamer.com | date = March 19, 2009 | url = http://www.videogamer.com/pc/wic_soviet_assault/review.html | accessdate = 2010-02-02 | quote = WiC might be better described as a 'real-time tactics' game. For those new to the explosive party, allow us to bring you up to speed. In WiC you rarely control more than 10 or so units at any one time. ... There's no harvesting Tiberium for resources or scrambling up a tech tree in order to get a hero unit out. Instead, the player is given a number of resource points with which to buy units and deploy them in ever changing drop zones dotted across the battlefield...}}
