  My understanding of wargames is that its like a recreational tabletop game to determine the results of combat. But the movement of troops, and their positioning, is determined by the soldiers in the exercise. So its like playing Axis and Allies (the generals roll dice to see who "lives and dies" in the game), except that the soldiers move in real-time (the soldiers on the board move to Hex-location X only when the REAL soldiers in the exercise get to that location). Practicing the issuance of commands itself is important: not only for the generals, but for all the soldiers down the line. Communication is a skill that is only built up with practice. Even if combat itself is fake, there's a lot of benefit to the exercise.
