Degsy Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks for posting that; there's some interesting stuff in there, particularly if you follow the link about the recent matrix game on Kaliningrad 2017. For those interested, there's a thread about the use of wargames in the military on BoardGameGeek here https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1499970/revitalizing-manual-wargaming-military 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Interesting discussion. But sounds like the "scientific approach" to an age-old practice. IIRC, tables tops were already used in post Napoleonic Prussian-times as training tool for Kadett's. I'll dig it out later, when I am at home.

And after a very quick refresher: He takes the "Art of educational Wargaming" back much farther in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
