The Wargaming Manual of the Bundeswehr is here

War cannot be played? What a mistake. This guide focuses on the current military context - as a guide for the use of wargaming in the Bundeswehr.

But wargames are not only used in the military. The methods can be applied to various complex problems.

What can I expect?

First, you will learn about the definition and the different types of wargames as well as their benefits - for military use, but also for other (leadership) areas.
If you want to create a wargame yourself, the manual provides a guide on the steps to consider.

Who contributed?

Experts from the Planning Office of the Bundeswehr, the Center for Innere Führung, the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) at the Universität der Bundeswehr München and from the BW Akademie.
