LEARN: Educational Wargaming
Historical wargames are best enjoyed by the ages 12 - 92.
Players work with the scales
of relative time and distance, and units represented to win. Wargames foster skill in Mathematics, Measurement and Cartography, along with an Attention to Detail, Risk
Management, Strategic Thinking, and Maturity. Published rules provide the information needed to play as well as some Historical background. Players research Uniforms, Tactics,
Political Events that led to the conflict, and Events that shaped History and the outcomes of those events. Because of the reality of wargaming, history comes alive for the participants. Players find themselves faced with many of the same decisions faced by the Commander's they are
learning about. As a result, everyone involved in wargaming is learning and continually evolving the way in which he/she thinks.
