Modern Crises Scenarios for Matrix Wargames

"In Matrix Games, knowledge, imagination, and persuasiveness dominate. Matrix Games boil down the art of gaming to its essence". Peter Perla
Since the book Matrix Games for Modern Wargaming was first published in 2014, they have made a massive impact on professional military education, operational analysis and training.

This book was written in response to requests for a more comprehensive account of the methodology, plus more examples of such games from the active edge of their professional application in the UK.

Included are 6 scenarios to demonstrate different aspects of the method:
NATO/Russian Posturing in the Baltic Sea

Russian/NATO Posturing in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean

Incidents in the South China Sea
An election game
Conflict on the Korean Peninsula
De Valera's War: Irish Neutrality in WW2
This book is published by the History of Wargaming Project as part of its ongoing work to document current practise in wargaming.
