War and Politics


Past and future wars replayed for historical simulation, or just for fun. While many, especially many of the older wargames, use cardboard counters on a hex-gridded paper map, turn-based movement, and dice and tables to resolve actions, others use wooden blocks, metal or plastic figurines, hidden movement, or no map at all. These are all still considered "board" wargames - look elsewhere for computer wargames.Here is also political games placed, as these themes are quite interconnected. Example of this kind of games are 'Diplomacy' and 'Junta'.
