Panther's games in Lawrence, KS, 20 & 21 Feb 2009

[James Sterrett]

Lawrence Wargaming is running the show; This is the list of games being run.

As noted here --

"A featured group at the convention will be the Simulation Support Team from Fort Leavenworth's Command and General Staff College. This team of contractors from Northrop Grumman's Technical Services division will run a Kriegsspiel game, a forerunner of modern wargaming, adopted by the Prussian General Staff in the 19th century. To further demonstrate the evolution and practical use of wargaming in military planning, they will also offer a miniatures wargame used in the 1980s and 1990s to simulate a possible Cold War conflict. Finally, they will demonstrate a computerized staff exercise using the WWII simulation Conquest of the Aegean."

If you're a participant, you'll be put in one of the key staff positions (Commander, XO, Fires, Intel, Future Ops, Current Ops) for your side. We'll walk you through the planning process and then fight the battle. No experience is necessary!

And, by the way, we'll have a beta version of Battles from the Bulge and just-might run one of the staff exercises using that, too.

I'll also be running exercises in this mode at the Origins Game Faire in June -- I'm expecting to run exercises in COTA or BFTB, Flashpoint: Germany, and TacOps.
