After reviewing INLGames' Tactical Hack game, the NATO Modeling and Simulation Center of Excellence contacted the company and solicited a one-week class on designing tabletop wargames and integrating the cyber domain at the tactical, operational and strategic level with kinetic actions.

While many tabletop techniques can be ported to a computer simulation environment, miniature gaming has several aspects that are faster, more efficient, and more effective for the players and designers.
