Simulations of military operations ranging from the historic to the hypothetical and fantastic. Game scale can range from man-to-man combat to strategic level operations. Units are most commonly represented by cardboard chits on a hexagonal map though a number of games use miniatures.

So be classy and take a look at the rules for the first ever Wargame, right here.
