Don't forget if you are attending the #connectionsusa wargaming 🇺🇸 conference to say hello to King's Wargaming Network members!

Great video and superb to see so many familiar faces involved with King's past or present. How does wargaming help prepare for future crisis and conflicts?

A NATO STO research team recently held a multi-layered wargame/modelling and simulation exercise at King's, bringing together 35 participants from 8 NATO Nations and various NATO bodies.

Over summer the core team are planning the next academic year of #wargaming at King's and our next #wargaming conference in 2025! Looking forward to another year of wargaming with students and staff at King's and those beyond! 😁

💡King's Crisis simulation is a fantastic student-led initiative with strong connections to wargaming, find out more about them in a news story below! 👏

King's PhD students past and present are engaged in hosting, running, designing and executing a range of #wargames assessing contemporary and historical challenges in security, defence and the world around us.

"Historians often warn of the abuse of history. As #wargaming becomes more popular we must be mindful over the abuse of it too. Those seeking hasty cheap answers, may cut corners, therefore abusing the insight wargaming offers..." ––Wargaming Week Keynote 2023. Dr J Smith.
