Abstract
We provide a complete characterization of optimal strategies for both players in non-symmetric discrete General Lotto games, where one of the players has an advantage over the other. By this we complete the characterization given in Hart (2008), where the strategies for symmetric case were fully characterized and some of the optimal strategies for the non-symmetric case were obtained. Our results can be used to solve the remaining cases of Colonel Blotto games.
