This volume fills that gap, providing a diverse set of perspectives on war-gaming's past, present, and future. In Zones of Control, contributors consider war-games played for entertainment, education, and military planning, in terms of design, critical analysis, and historical contexts. They consider both digital and especially table-top games, most of which cover specific historical conflicts or are grounded in recognizable real-world geopolitics. Game designers and players will find the historical and critical contexts often missing from design and hobby literature; military analysts will find connections to game design and the humanities; and academics will find documentation and critique of a sophicated body of cultural work in which the the complexity of military conflict is represented in lucid systems and procedures. Topics include the history of playing at war; operations research and systems design; war-gaming and military history; war-gaming's ethics and politics; gaming irregular and non-kinetic warfare; and war-games as artistic practice.
