Strand Simulations Group

Our Story
The Strand Simulations Group is the result of a year gaming, long talks at the pub, and many laughs between 6 wargame designers at the War Studies Department of King’s College London. After graduating from our Masters, we decided to continue our wargaming work together by pooling our games and shared experience. Our respective locations, from the US and Canada to Poland, passing through the UK and France, enable us to have a global reach and unique understanding of the wargaming structures present in Europe and North America.

Why Wargaming?
We view wargaming as an incredibly useful tool for both educative and analytical purposes. We believe that wargames, by replicating the empirical, dialectic, heuristic, and hazardous characters of strategy and warfare, constitute a unique way to grasp the practical aspects of past, current, and future conflicts.

Thereby, they allow to investigate system dynamics and the decision-making processes of competing actors within specific contexts. In the end, they lead to hypotheses and ideas that no other method can produce, providing a unique added-value to defense and security professionals who wish to understand the problems they face better.
