MODIFICATION OF A COMPUTER WAR GAME FOR COMBINATION COMPUTER/MANUAL PLAY.
Abstract
This document points out the rigidity of certain processes commonly used in computerized war games to perform decision making functions. Such procedures are believed to have detrimental effects upon the value of these simulations for many analytical applications. As a partial solution to this problem, a combination computer/manual game is proposed which provides for a human decisionmaker and adds much in the way of flexibility to the game. The ease with which a large computerized war game can be modified for combination computer/manual play is demonstrated by describing such a modification to an existing model and displaying flow charts of the logic for the modification. In addition to improving the analytical capabilities of the simulation, a combination computer/manual game provides educational and training capabilities not present in the completely computerized game.
