@Vittoria@mastodon.socialOnce dismissed as frivolous, wargames have emerged as crucial strategic tools amid rising global tensions. A recent simulation at Paris's École Militaire, where 500 participants played out high-intensity conflict scenarios, reflects a growing international trend toward gamified military preparedness.
@Vittoria frivolous they definitely are!
I read yesterday about a real tank operator who actually leaked the user manual of France's Leclerc main battle tank in a fit of indignant rage, using it as a citation trying to help him win an online argument over a war sim match lmao
useful they definitely are!
like any planning and readiness tool people learn a lot from these exercises right.
