This is a series of lectures from a course in Artificial Intelligence and Games taught at Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland by Tony Veale.

Summary: The author covers basic wargaming and military terms and history including spatial resolution, facing, early board wargames, kriegspiel, imperfect information (fog of war) and Line of Sight (LOS).

Also covered are formulas for observation probabilities, the Lanchaster Attrition Model, Combat Cycles and Combat Efficiency Coefficients. Also included and cited are combat resolution tables from this researcher’s commercial computer wargame, The War College (published by GameTek 1995).

This is a very good overview of the history of wargaming over the last 200 years and is cited in a number of other papers.
