Title: MoD Wargaming handbook
Post by: Raider4 on 09 May 2019, 01:55:52 PM
While searching for something else, I stumbled across the MoD Wargaming Handbook (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/641040/doctrine_uk_wargaming_handbook.pdf).

Not had a chance to read it yet, but thought it might be interesting to see how the professionals go about these things?

The key thing about this book is that it considers the planning, gaming and (importantly) data collection and analysis of the wargame. For hobbyists we tend to do some planning, much gaming and almost no analysis. But that is the difference for organisations that need to consider the results of a wargame in order to inform the real world decisions.
