Saw this on another forum and got curious: have there been many party-based RPGs where, during particular sequences, you're called upon to make tactical decisions for larger-scale battles?
Examples given included "Hordes of the Underdark" (NWN1), when you have to deploy the rebel forces throughout the city and your choices have a direct impact on how the battle progresses; "Dragon Age: Awakening", where the upgrades you make to Vigil's Keep affect what happens during the invasion (ie: if you fortified the walls, ogres won't break through); and "Final Fantasy VII", where you have to defend Fort Condor by placing troops and catapults in the enemy's path.
Can anyone think of similar situations in other games?

Game of Thrones has a sequence where you assign troops to various parts of a city, and then depending on your choices, you get different results.

Van helsing has you lay traps in the maze of corridors in your secret lair. It gets attacked as a mini-game.
