“Modern wargaming—what we and our colleagues do for our clients in the military, large corporations, and nonprofit organizations around the globe—differs in one essential way: The participants do not have complete information when they play one of our wargames because we design wargames to reflect the real world; in the real world, decision makers almost always are forced to make choices that are based on incomplete information. An economist, Thomas Schelling, got a Nobel Prize in 2005 for his work applying game theory to the interactions of people and nations. A central point of his "impossibility theorem" states: "One thing a person cannot do, no matter how rigorous his analysis or heroic his imagination, is to draw up a list of things that would never occur to him.”

“In modern warfare, there is something called "dominant battlespace awareness," or DBA in military shorthand. DBA is essentially the science of war: the satellites, the unmanned aerial vehicles, the acoustic sensors—all the spycraft and technology brought to bear that permit one side to know where the other side is positioned. DBA is important, but it isn't as important as "dominant battlespace knowledge." DBK is the art of war, and it's what usually is determinative. It is the dimension that tries to reveal an enemy's intentions and whether, for example, its apparent leverage is vulnerable to feints, bluffs, and small countermeasures.”

“The genius of modern professional wargaming is that it embraces the impossibility theorem and provides a methodology to get at the things that one leader, no matter how visionary, cannot grasp on his or her own. How? Not by relying on computers, which we use mainly in a variety of supporting roles. Instead, we bring together the real experts on the issue at hand and allow them to "experience" the future in a risk-free environment and find answers to questions that had not been on their radar screens before they began the wargame.”
