I've jsut updated my blog with a report on an educational use of wargaming in which I was recently involved. I thought a few here might find it interesting. link |

Definitely. Any chance of seeing the rules used? |

Very interesting article. I very much like the idea of custom designed ships. How much detail did your students design go into, did the rules cover ship stability and the construction (including internal sub-division etc) of the ships? Really like the rest of your blog aswell. I'm in the process of getting my own up and running, it has a some naval stuff on it aswell. Rory

Badgers, proabbly not at this stage, but maybe later Rory – the MSc ship design exercise has the students working up concept level designs, so a full analysis of stability, damage stability, structures, system layouts, survivability, manning, costs etc. The designs are translated into representations for the game that take those aspcts into account, albeit simplified. It would though be possible to run the game at a higher level of fidelity and use our vulnerability analysis codes to conduct more detailed weapon effects and consequence analysis, just abit more time consuming than rolling a few dice :) |
