Wargames Used in Support of Analysis
Note to Users
This is a root page of a wiki on the subject of wargames used in support of military operations research (OR), specifically campaign analysis, testing of ideas, and decision-making. The idea for this wiki originated at the first meeting of the MORS Wargaming Community of Practice at the 76th annual MORS Symposium, 13 June 2008.
From here, you can access these pages:
Notes for Contributors:
We need your contributions to this wiki! A tremendous body of information and experience is out there, and we would like to see it documented.
These pages form only the beginning of an online wiki on the use of wargames by the military OR community. Long and very detailed books and book-length histories have been written on the history of “professional” wargaming. While this wiki will mention historical instances and examples of specific wargames being used to support analysis, it is not meant to replace these studies.
Anyone who can access this website (presumably, this is limited to current members of MORS) can also edit its pages. It’s easy to make contributions of any type, but in accordance with the SOPs for this site, please do not delete the efforts or contributions of others.
