Product Description: The first battle simulation system was designed to exercise American divisional commanders and staffs in the control and coordination of combined arms operations. The game was played using 1:50000 maps using simple counters. Movement and firing were measured using the 1 km grid squares that were already printed on the maps. The system was an open ended flexible training tool that could be applied to any scenario, level of control, or mode of play. It could be played with all the players using one central map or it could be the basis for a large headquarters based wargame. The rules include: Maneuver Long range fire Close combat Artillery Plus optional rules on the use of smoke, flanking shots, unit reconstruction and reconnaissance. There are also some sample ORBATS for American and Russian units. The discussion of the reasoning behind the game system and guidance for umpires is still relevant of modern wargaming. The first battle rules are well written, with examples; so it is quite feasible for a dedicated hobby wargamer to recreate a game from the Cold War using these rules. All one needs is a standard 1:50000 or 1:25000 map, some counters, two ORBATS and a simple scenario. Playing a game using these rules is harking back to the days when two huge armies were facing each other across a divided Germany. …

However, there is a subset of wargames that are used to explore the darkest elements of conflict. These games are routinely run behind closed doors and rarely, if ever, does the existence of such games reach the public domain, let alone the details. Sometimes these games are part of professional military activity, sometimes part of academic research. Both purposes use the vehicle of designing and playing a wargame as a way to generate different insights from merely reading and attending conferences. The games in this book were carefully chosen to reduce the risk of offence. They demonstrate the ways of running such games, but without using current or recent conflicts as examples. They include: Bosnian Mercenary: Gaming the Chaos of the Disintegration of Yugoslavia WMD 1945 My Auntâs War: Civilian Experience of War Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Gaming Surrender Pickettâs Charge: Using Drama The Button: Nuclear Decision Making Exercise Hard Rock: Civil Defence The Tank Factory: Military Management of the Economy During Wartime The reader should be clear that these games on dark subjects matter and often have real world consequences. This book is the first to shed some light on these types of games with actual examples. …

Product Description: Note: These were previously published as the Victorian Army's Kriegspiel Rules and the War Office 1896 Rules for the Conduct of the Wargame. There were two books that were very influential in the start of British military wargaming in the 19th Century, J.R. MacDowell' book in 1886 was the second of them. This book includes his translation of the classic German Kriegsspiel text, the Prussian General J. von Verdy du Vernois 'Beitrag Zum Kriegsspeil'. This challenged the ever growing complexity of the original Kriegsspiel rules by suggesting that no rules were necessary. This idea later became known as 'Free Kriegsspiel' and as such was the basis of the development of the strategic wargames used from 1900 onwards. This book includes the classic translation of the 1896 Prussian 'Free Kriegspiel', describes why and how to run the war game with a minimum of rules: ⢠A historical introduction ⢠Guidance on how to play a Kriegspiel ⢠The Victorian Army's 1896 Kriegspiel Rules ⢠Appendices on:    â¢ Rates of advance    â¢ Daily march rates    â¢ Identification distances    â¢ military use of railways    â¢ Battle planning times 1940- present day.…

Product Description: As part of the History of Wargaming Projectâs continuing wargaming âarchaeologyâ, agreement was given to publish this set of rules as an example of the US Naval War Collegeâs use of wargaming as part of their curriculum in 1969. What is interesting about this set of rules is they are complete and they have a sample scenario which helps illuminate the thinking of the wargame designers. There are straightforward rules for surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), gunnery, air, torpedoes and mines etc. The use of these rules is clearly illustrated in the sample game. The rules were clearly written for others to play the game, even in the absence of the game designers. The sample game gives the background and briefings and the two sides ORBATs. Then it sets out the plans of the two sides. It goes on to set out how the game is setup, managed and played. The rules are supported by numerous examples of the forms used to manage the game, such damage assessment flowcharts and surface to air missile assessment flowcharts. There is sufficient information for the modern wargamer to understand how the game was conducted or to recreate the games for themselves. The book is published by the History of Wargaming Project. It is part of a series to document key steps in the development of wargaming. …

Wargamers can create simulations of the simplest encounter or the grandest strategy. Armored warfare in miniature has a special appeal. The model tank wargamer can take advantage of the superb range of miniature model tanks available and the many books detailing modern weaponry to recreate this style of fighting that was born on the Somme in 1916 and came of age in 1940. Perfect scale models and accurate rules combine to produce an almost faultless simulation of tank warfare - all that is missing is the clatter of tracks, the roar of engines and the crump of shell fire. …

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description: The 'small war' was a particularly Victorian concern. Its course was followed with avid interest by the general public. Every setback and victory, every act of courage and cowardice was recorded and illustrated in the popular press. Nowhere was this more true than in Africa, where small wars came in three distinct types: campaigns of conquest or annexation, such as the 1879 campaign against Cetshwayo's Zulu Impis; campaigns for the suppression of an insurrection, such as those in East and West Africa, where many campaigns began as simple expeditions and ended by bringing vast territories under British rule; and campaigns to avenge an insult, designed to impose control without annexing territory, the Abyssinian Expedition of 1868 being a typical example. Only the Boer Wars of 1881 and 1897-1902 did not fit into one of these three patterns. Fought against an enemy armed with comparable weapons, the campaign of 1881 was the only war lost by British troops during the Victorian period. Donald Featherstone, an acknowledged expert on colonial warfare, has written a vivid and accurate account of the small wars in Africa, drawing heavily on the letters and first-hand reports of those who were there. His Victoria's Enemies was described by the Journal of the Royal Artillery as 'wide ranging . well researched and excellent value .' This book is published as part of the work of The History of Wargaming Project to document key works of Donald Featherstone.…

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description: George Gushâs Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries (1420-1700) were developed from the early WRG Ancients rules. They used a figures scale of 1 to 20 and a ground scale of 1 inch to 20 paces. They were written to recreate the great battles and sieges of this era. The rules are complex by todayâs standards and players require good tactical sense, rather than good dice rolls, to overcome their opponent. They include rules for orders and generals, with the importance of issuing the right orders at the start of the game being emphasised. Melees/ shooting are dealt with in detail, with the armour, weapons, training, morale and tactical factors all being taken into account. A key part of the game is the reaction test; where a playerâs units may have their orders changed. The section of sieges is especially detailed. The rules are still popular (as of 2016) and many wargamers maintain these are still the best rules for renaissance wargaming.…

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description: The games in this book were made to help the navigators of Bomber Command improve the chances of locating their target. Written by Sir Francis Chichester, the games reflected his vast experience at the exacting art of pinpoint navigation. This book was first published in 1942 at the heart of World War II. Bomber Command was flying regularly to hit targets on the content, but the navigators in the individual bombers were struggling to find the targets. Using his experience of long-distance flying, Chichester created three games to help the navigators improve their skills prior to operations. Game 1 was a game of chance, game 2 involved finding the correct longitude and latitude, but game 3 required the player to correctly locate themselves on the map. Reading the paragraphs that describe the situation, then studying the map for clues offers insight into the difficulties faced during the early stages of the bombing campaign, before electronic navigation aids became widespread.…

A structured analysis of all aspects of Civil War combat, making a surprisingly technical and detailed coverage compressed into such a short space (This doubtless explains why it has been used as a set text by several universities). Sub-sections cover the army commander's perspectives in first setting up and then running a battle: the arts of generalship at the level of Corps and Division command; and then a long section on the regiment's battle, including minor tactics, weapons, combat psychology - and the casualties. "This book represents outstanding value for money, and I strongly urge you to get a copy" - Wargame Review.…

Product Description: This is one of the classic works on historical analysis of combat by David Roland as part of his work in the Ministry of defense. It was widely recognized for its pioneering research on combat. The book starts by summarizing development of UK MoD historical analysis from studies in the 1970s. The development in the 1970s, of pulsed laser weapon simulators enabled real-time force-on-force exercises to be conducted and monitored. Analysis of these exercises, allowed advice to be given on more realistic combat modelling, and in particular human behavior and reactions, underpinning operational effectiveness, force structures and equipment procurement studies. Using quantitative Historical Analysis (HA), it was possible to extend to comparisons between the levels of effectiveness between simulated and real combat and to establish basic combat degradation estimates, one weapon class at a time. The effects of suppression, surprise and shock, were also quantified. The result of this research shed new light on infantry combat, armor v anti-tank weapons and heroism on the battlefield. The large number of diagrams make the analysis clear and although the book is based around statistics, no in-depth math is needed to understanding the conclusions. The book has been published by the History of Wargaming Project as part of ongoing efforts to document the development of professional wargaming.…

As a result of those wargames, battles were fought, campaigns were launched; lives were lost, lives were saved. An overview of such games has been covered in the literature before. This book is different as it aims to examine the detail of these wargames by including primary material; extracts from source documents, wargaming rules and umpiring guides from the pre-war period until 1945. Included are detailed guidelines on the German use of wargaming during the war based on post war analysis by the American military. This includes outlines of best practice and the value of these games. Samples of the German map based tactical exercises set at platoon and company level. An example of a British attack on a village. British and American umpire manuals with rules for arbitrating field exercises, sand table and map wargames. A Royal Navy carrier wargame: Find Fix and Strike (1944).

The RAF and the USAAF dropped 1.6 billion tons of bombs on Germany between 1939 and 1945. The impact on the German war machine was huge, but so was the cost. Over 55,500 Bomber Command crew lost their lives during this campaign. Each morning the weather and moon state were suitable, target(s) were selected by Bomber Command. Often the orders included the phrase âMaximum Effortâ that meant all bombers that had crews were to be part of the attack. A complex series of steps were then initiated to ensure the bombers were in the air, over the target at the appointed hour to deliver their bombs in the shortest possible time. Concentration of the bomber stream was designed to overwhelm the enemy defences. The game allows the player to assemble their crew, select their target and go through the various stages of the mission. From take-off, over the enemy coast, through the flak zones and onto the target. Key to returning home was avoiding the enemy night-fighters. The rules are embedded in historical research and include briefings, aide-memoires, maps and period material. Playing the game aims to help the player(s) understand the experience of the crews of Bomber Command a little better. This book is published by the History of Wargaming Project as an example of experiential learning in the form of a hobby wargame.…

Although as popular as Donald Featherstones's War Games when published, it has largely been forgotten over the years. In many ways, the book was ahead of its time with concepts such as a single base for a unit, gridded movement, speed of play and original combat system. It was very different from the development of the H.G. Wells rules by Donald Featherstone and others. This edition includes: The original book How to Play War Games in Miniature Rules for ancient, musket and the 'modern period' Additional articles by Morschauser.
