Is there a trope for a "war" that takes place entirely in just one city? Like from Fantasy of Post-Apocalyptic stories where two or more factions are struggling for control of one city, saying stuff like "They have taken over the lower east side, but we still have a few buildings manned" and whatnot? The idea being that there's different logistics than a regular war, with smaller armies, more worry about food, faster cavalry, et cetera...
I'm thinking in particular of that one episode of South Park where Cartman and Stan fight for control of the town in a post-apocalyptic scenario.
