Great Armies, which was your favorite?

Everyone has their own opinions I suppose. The last definition I received of Total War was waging a war on things like infrastructure, agriculture, etc. Knocking the supports out from under an army to weaken it, so it can be more easily defeated.

[Tali]

a war which is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the accepted rules of war are disregarded.

- Oxford Dictionary

Total war is a war in which a belligerent engages in the complete mobilization of all available resources and population.

There's no universal definition of the term.

Yep, thats another part of it. In contrast, in a limited war, the home front usually wont notice that there is a war going on, since the war is only on the frontlines.
