* GoldenSun: By endgame, even with all the flashy multi-target summons, spells, buffs and heals, the most efficient strategy against random encounters is just to hit the attack command for all characters, due to the overpowering and frequent weapon unleashes.
* DawnOfWar: In Dark Crusade and Soulstorm's campaign modes, most maps are simply a skirmish game with one or two opponents and an InstantWinCondition (taking out their HQ). However, you start the game with honor guard units (more as you conquer territories), so the most efficient way to win is to take all troops and go straight for the HQ, the same strategy used by the AI.
* StarcraftII: This is the principle behind the ZergRush: throw thousands of disposable troops at the enemy, and enough will survive to swamp the enemy. Made even easier in HeartOfTheSwarm, where exploding Banelings can be upgraded to jump into enemies from a distance, even if friendly units are in the way.

* {{Bleach}}: When Kenpachi runs into an enemy he can't beat using his enormous strength, he goes for a different tactic, which boils down to using ''both hands'' to hold his OneHandedZweihander, and wins.
* PaganVengeance: This is the Watsonian explanation for the downfall of the Mongol armies, who move in groups of more than 2,000 and still lose to smaller armies: They're so used to crushing the enemy they just ride forward, allowing the enemy to outmanever them. The Doylist explanation is plain old ArtificialStupidity.
