Review of 'Craft of Wargaming' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
For practitioners of wargaming, this is a great companion book to Peter Perla's classic "The Art of Wargaming." Arts and crafts...
It is only about 200 pages of main text, with an additional 150+ pages of appendices and bibliography.
The insights from a trio of writers who are currently working in the DoD wargaming world should not be ignored. The authors include some short anecdotes to illustrate the importance of each "best practice" they espouse, and also show the pitfalls of succumbing to "worst practices."
Good book for what it is, but it won't substitute for experience - good thing it has several practical exercises!
