Abstract:

THEATERSPIEL is a two-sided, closed, computer-assisted, theater-level war game with resolution at division level. The THEATERSPIEL game model consists of the cyclical application of flexible sets of rules, procedures, mathematical expressions, empirical formulas, and military judgments to a specific set of data descriptive of the military units, weapons, and equipment being studied. The purpose of the model is to realistically simulate combat situations in specified environments, producing information that will approximate the results of actual conflict under the same conditions.
