I’d like to know a little more about “Wargaming Other Than War” so I can be thinking about some context before I show up.
Official description is “A variety of commercial games have appeared over the years, with wargame-like mechanics, that portray situations that are not actual wars or kinetic conflicts. What the models and game engines behind some of these games?”
Think of things like John Company or Nicea or Votes for Women or Westphalia
Thank you!
