In order of scale: Strategy > Tactics > mechanics/micro/control *micro as in micromanagement, of individual units in your army, This is often contrasted with "macro", which refers to overall strategy + consistency of your "mechanics" for other actions besides micro-ing army units (training harvesters, building bases, having enough houses, sending out well-timed scouts, etc).
