Tactics in WAR are abilities that you can buy with the points that you gain for leveling. They provide small gains in various skills or aspects of your character. You can change them when you're not in combat. Choosing the current set of active Tactics allows you to specialize your character for an expected situation at hand, for example: Ironbreakers can use Ancestral Hatred which increases damage against Greenskins, while Black Orcs have access to I Hates Stunties which increases damage to Dwarfs.
Before entering into a battle, tactics are chosen and slotted into the Strategy bar according to what you feel will be most useful in the upcoming fight. This gives a little more ability to make your character how you want it to be, and also adds more strategy. It also allows you to have, say, one tactics-load out that is tweaked for performance in solo play, and another that you switch to when you group up to perform a certain task.
Switching tactics load out is done through a simple drop down menu in the UI.
NOTE: Changing Tactic Sets while mounted does NOT work. You have to dismount, then make the change for it to take effect.
