In resource allocation competitions modeled as Lottery Colonel Blotto games, a Stackelberg model, where one player acts as a leader and commits to a strategy before the follower responds, offers a strategic advantage compared to simultaneous decision-making in a Nash equilibrium.
In repeated Stackelberg games where the follower learns the leader's strategy through observations, the leader must adopt inferable strategies, even if suboptimal in the full-information setting, to maximize long-term rewards.
