Strategic Studies/Universal Tactical Simulation

Part of Strategic Studies

Introduction
The Tactical Simulations page contains a number of games, as well as the proposed Universal Tactical Simulation, and the discussion on theory and how its rules should be developed.

The Universal Tactical Simulation

 * /Universal Tactical Simulation/: A discussion of the fundamental principles that should be observed in the Tactical Simulation.
 * Universal Tactical Simulation: Rules: The raw rules of the Tactical Simulation.

Other User-Developed Simulations

 * /Landsknecht/ - A simple tactical wargame that can be played (of all places) on a chessboard. Introduces ideas of morale, frontage, flanking, and set-piece battle in the early Renaissance/Late Middle Ages.

Links to Other Extant Simulations

 * Mark IV is an open source 3D Battlefield vehicle simulation, currently being developed.
