	Marine Corps Wargaming - Page 1
		The wargaming conducted by the Marine Corp in the 1930s laid the foundation of the amphibious doctrine used in World War II and is still cited as a classic use of wargames to win wars.
		This is because wargaming in the modern Marine Corps suffers from both misused capabilities and unused potentials.
		The unused potential is the widespread availability of wargames and the ability of battalions, companies, and squads to use them for their own training.

	Wargaming @ Games can involve players acting cooperatively
		Wargaming is the play of simulated military operations in the form of games known as war games.
		Wargames, like all games, exist in a range of complexities: some are fundamentally simple (so-called "beer-and-pretzel" games), while others (generally in an attempt to increase the 'realism' of the situation) produce rule sets that may encompass a large variety of actions (so-called "monster" games).
		These first wargames were played with dice which represented "friction", or the intrusion of less than ideal circumstances during a real war (including morale, meteorology, the fog of war, etc).

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1999
		All too often the outputs of wargames have been limited to their training value, or have been skewed because the players were allowed to take the future where they wanted it to go.
		Wargaming is an established and time-honored mechanism through which proposed defense concepts, doctrine, and tactics are explored, and there is a rich literature that describes its uses and applications.[4] An attempt to develop a typology of wargaming would be quite complicated, however, and that is not our purpose here.
		Wargames have also been used, not always satisfactorily, to test the adequacy of current or planned forces in projected or official scenarios, such as those offered in support of the BUR and the QDR.

	Wargaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wargaming is the hobby dedicated to the play of simulated military operations in the form of games known as wargames (sometimes also called conflict simulations).
		Wargames, like all games, exist in a range of complexities: some are fundamentally simple (so-called "beer-and-pretzel" games), while others (generally in an attempt to increase the 'realism' of the situation) produce rulebooks that may encompass a large variety of actions and/or minutiae.
		These first wargames were played with dice which represented "friction", or the intrusion of less than ideal circumstances during a real war (including morale, weather, the fog of war, etc.), though this was usually replaced by an umpire who used his own combat experience to determine the results.

	DST/WARGAMING (Defense)
		WARGAMING: Wargaming is a conscious attempt to visualize the flow of a battle, given friendly strengths and dispositions, enemy assets, and possible courses of action, and a set piece of ground.
		WARGAME AGAINST OTHER ENEMY COAs: A friendly course of action may have been created to defeat a specific enemy course of action, but in order for us to select a course of action to turn into an order it should be capable of defeating all probable enemy courses of action.
		The simplest way to do this is to retain the DST we used for the first wargame and record the results of the second wargame in a different color: say fl for the first wargame and blue or red for the second and third.

	A Short History of Wargaming
		Nevertheless, the history of military wargames is such that most failures seem to occur when the results of a wargame are ignored, not when they are taken seriously.
		And with that being said, it now time to look at another type of wargaming, one whose original concept was not to train for successful conflict, but to prevent such bloodshed from ever happing at all.
		Total paper and counter wargame sales thus reached a high of some two million copies in 1980, but by 1991 that number was down to about 450,000 units per year.
