Deep Attack Map Exercise (DAME) Game Rules and Operating Procedures

Abstract

The Deep Attack Map Exercise (DAME) is a comprehensive, computer assisted map exercise designed to game the significant aspects of the AirLand Battle for heavy forces. It was developed by the Combined Arms Operations Research Activity (CAORA) in response to a need for a quick-running low resolution wargame for use in the Close Combat (Heavy) Mission Area Analysis. Using a map board, a set of computer algorithms, and manual rules, the wargame attempts to portray the important aspects of the modern battlefield which must be considered in the AirLand Battle. These include: attrition, movement, logistics, and command and control. This report documents the rules, operating procedures, and computer algorithms which were used in the map game. The rules and operating procedures are grouped according to their process (attrition, movement, etc.), and complete methodology and documentation is provided for all computer programs.
