+Execution
+=========
+
+``-f`` option controls forking: how many executors are started to perform tasks.
+
+The way tasks are processed depends on ``strategy`` and ``serial``.
+
+``strategy`` * ``serial`` can be defined on each ``hosts`` in a play::
+
+  - hosts: web
+    strategy: free
+    serial: 50%
+  - hosts: db
+    strategy: linear
+    serial: 1
+
+* With ``linear`` strategy all workers execute the same tasks, idling until every is finished the
+  task. Then next task is executed. ``serial`` sets how many hosts at a time to run at a time to the
+  end of subplay.
+* With ``free`` strategy tasks are executed without waiting for completion of the same task on every
+  host.
