| Publisher Description: A wargame, at its heart, is a conflict simulation model. Sometimes these conflicts are historical (Twilight Struggle, COIN series, Washington's War) and sometimes they are fictional (War of the Ring, Space Empires 4x). A great wargame will find the right level of abstraction where the conflict is accurately modeled, but rules overhead doesn't render the game unplayable. Sometimes wargames have a reputation of being long and overly complex. Extra rules that add flavor are often called "chrome." Chrome is usually added to model specific aspects of a unit, interactions with the terrain, etc. We'll discuss this issue and the most efficient way to digest rulesets in this book |
