Island Hopping

There was really only Britain and the Soviets Fighting with half the American army because the Americans were also fighting in the pacific. Also Germany had a lot of men and used the blitzkrieg tactic which helped Germany take over almost all of Eastern Europe and France, so they had a large buffer zone to keep the enemy forces out of Berlin.
They used the tactic of island-hopping. That meant they captured one island at a time. It cost the lives of many soldiers and they could gain just a very small territoriy at a time.

I assume it is WW2 you are talking about. 'Island hopping' was the tactic the US used. They took over Japanese islands in the Pacific one by one setting up bases on each of them.
A tactic used in an attempt to cut off supply lines to Japanese forces was the use of submarines. By sinking their ships before they could reach troops, it severely limited their fighting abilities.

Fighting tactics of the Roman army, like the tactics of all armies, depended upon the battle conditions. Things such as the number of the enemy, the terrain and even the weather had to be considered. They had several battle formations and maneuvers, which were used in various circumstances. In a very broad sense you could say that the infantry used hand to hand combat as their main tactic with three lines of fighters and the cavalry used a type of herding/chasing tactics.

For the most part, the US Army's dominating battle tactic was what can be called the "turning movement". As used in the Mexican-American War it consisted of sending a detachment of forces away from the front lines and then attack the enemy's flank, causing panic and a retreat. Battles such as Monterrey and Cerro Gordo are examples of this tactic.
