Ugh. Do they really? Ok, I’m more concerned now.
I’m curious where I can find more about the sim-gaming you mentioned. I know there are all kinds of simulators for training as well as wargaming but wasn’t aware of stuff used for modelling outcomes. Then again, I don’t have any involvement with that stuff professionally.
- somenameforme 3y agoThere are multiple vendors, but the big one that I am aware of is called KORA. It was used in planning the counter-attack in Ukraine and you can find numerous references to it, such as in this [1] article. But this and classical war-gaming and very related. The entire point of war-gaming (beyond training) is to try to predict the outcome of a conflict.
