Many thanks An interesting read and a useful study of wargames 1770-1830. If nothing else it made me curious about Opitz' 1806 game – I wonder if it is easily available. Of course there's a whole stream of wargame theory that says playablity and realism are not mutually exclusive and you need to re-calibrate your thinking about such things. For an academic article the author might have made a stab at defining 'playability' given it's a core concept in his work. David F Brown |
