HEDGEMONY: A Game of Strategic Choices, Rulebook
Abstract
Hedgemony is a global, multi-sided, turn-based, facilitated, adjudicated wargame designed to teach U.S. defense professionals how different strategy and policy priorities could affect key planning factors in the trade space at the intersection of force development, force management, force posture, and force employment. Players, representing Blue(the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO], and the European Union [EU]1) or Red (Russia [RU], the People's Republic of China [PRC], the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea [DPRK],and Iran [IR]), are presented with a global situation, competing national incentives, constraints and objectives, a set of military forces with defined capacities and capabilities, and a pool of periodically renewable resources. Players are also asked to summarize their strategies and objectives in writing before play starts. The game is about players making difficult choices by managing the allocation of resources and forces in alignment with their strategies to accomplish their objectives within resource and time constraints
