…TableTop Wargames.

"Massive armored vehicle force-on-force mechanized warfare, air-ground attack and long-range weapons are all soon to be elements of combat vignettes taken up in major Army wargames, senior officials said.

"We are going to be doing table top wargames to see what kinds of things we will need in our platforms to counter threats," Maj. Gen. Cummings, Program Executive Officer, Ground Combat Systems, told Warrior in an interview.
