New York: History of Wargaming Project, 2023. New and unread in near PERFECT condition. The cover has only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store). NO chips, tears or fading. Hinges are perfect. Square and tight. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked -- obviously never read. Illustrated with photos and diagrams. Bibliographical references. Appendix: Sample Counter Sheets. From the rear cover: "'In Matrix Games, knowledge, imagination, and persuasiveness dominate. Both the referee and the players find their greatest success by drawing on their storytelling skills. In many ways, Matrix Games boil down the art of gaming to its essence'. -- Peter Perla. Invented by Chris Engle, Matrix Games are an innovative way of wargaming situations and conflicts that traditional wargaming methods find hard to model. Since the book Matrix Games for Modern Wargaming was first published in 2014, they have made a massive impact on professional military education, operational analysis and training. This book was written in response to requests for a more comprehensive account of how the Matrix Game methodology has developed, plus more real examples of such games from the active edge of their professional application in the UK. This book includes six more scenarios to demonstrate different aspects of the method: Baltic Challenge: NATO / Russian Posturing in the Baltic Sea Mare Nostrum: Russian/ NATO Posturing in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean The Nine-Dash Line: Incidents in the South China Sea Election in Centralia DPRK: Conflict on the Korean Peninsula De Valera's War: Irish Neutrality in WW2 by John Basset OBE This book is published by the History of Wargaming Project as part of its ongoing work to document current practise in wargaming.".

Store description
About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
