"Over the past fifty years, many thousands of conflict simulations have been published
which bring the dynamics of past and possible future wars to life. Philip Sabin used
such techniques in his acclaimed previous book Lost Battles to cast new light on Greek
and Roman land engagements. In this new work, he explores the theory and practice
of conflict simulation as a topic in its own right, based on his thirty years of experience
in designing wargames and using them to educate both military and civilian students.
Simulating War sets conflict simulation in its proper context alongside more academically
familiar techniques such as game theory and operational analysis. It explains in detail
the analytical and modelling techniques involved, and it teaches you how to design
your own simulations of conflicts of your choice, as do Philip Sabin's MA students.
The book provides eight simple illustrative simulations of specific historical conflicts,
complete with rules, maps and counters. These games have all been employed successfully
in class, and you can use them to see exactly how conflict simulation works."--Publisher
