Agreed. I'd say the wargames are out there in places, just not as widespread as they should be, and I would love to see more of them. When I was a new Air Force officer in 2004, there was a school called Air and Space Basic Course that we went through. We played a wargame there where we simulated an Air Operations Center, with targeting, planning, deployment and so on. Basically, picking targets, building strike packages, considering logistics and intel, and so on. I enjoyed it and I think it did a good job of putting us in the mindset of what the Air Force really does. There was also a modified version of Starcraft we played as a team, with planning and targeting involved. (and I played a lot of Starcraft in college so I had no problem with that exercise...) Turns out there's a old page that describes both of those here: http://www.au.af.mil/au/cf/au_catalog_1999_2000/catalog2000_14_abc.html http://www.au.af.mil/au/cf/au_catalog_1999_2000/catalog2000_... I've been out a few years, but I think I heard that (unfortunately) ASBC got shut down as part of budget cuts a few years ago. Hopefully some of this is replicated in the other schools officers go to.
