Conversations With Wargamers

Abstract

The War Gaming Department (WGD) of the Naval War College (NWC) asked CNA to identify key game-design issues and to develop recommendations for more effectively representing the linkage between the strategic, operational/strategic, and operational levels of war, especially as applied to future Navy Title X Global War Games (GWG). We researched existing wargame systems and interviewed leading wargaming practitioners, both in government and in industry, to learn how others have conducted multi-level games in the past and to discuss their ideas about how to improve techniques in the future.
