Sinopsis

Paddy Griffith was a key figure in development of operational and tactical military history, as well as the professional and hobby wargaming. As a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy (1973-89) his use of wargames made significant input into strategic decisions at the height of the Cold War. He also applied wargaming as a tool to assist his research into military history, as well as for teaching.

This book captures some of the key points of the development of his ideas and innovations in wargaming, such as contributing to the Wargamer’s Newsletter, to the launch of Wargames Developments in 1980 and his correspondence with some of the key figures in wargaming.

Included in this book are chapters on:

  • Gaming World War III: Paddy’s Greatest Legacy
  • The relationship between Donald Featherstone and Paddy Griffith
  • The Game of War, Wargaming for TV
  • Roleplaying the Experience of Combat: Men Against Fire
  • Naval Wargaming: Hunt the Bismarck
  • Monkey Orange Solo Game- The tame that got him barred from Salute
  • The Taiwan Crisis Game: The Game that Almost Became an International Incident
Paddy Griffith was at times a controversial character, but no-one can challenge the fact he made a significant impact in the development of study of military history and wargaming. This book is a summary of that contribution.
