    Clash of Steel A Closer Look at WWII Grand Strategy Simulation Table of Contents Introduction Third Reich vs COS Ground Units Where's the Front? Getting Cutoff Strength, Morale, Efficiency, & Supply Air Units Naval Units Action Points Troop Quality (Efficiency) Ground Combat Weather Supply Railroads Mechanized Infantry Conquering Countries and Victory Points Economies Strategic Bombing Research Politics Grand Strategy Equations Combat Tables Versions Rule Book COS II Why Did I Write This? Introduction The designer of a wargame is confronted with two conflicting goals. One goal is to design a game that is fun to play. The other is to design a game which is reasonably accurate. A little too much of the former and one builds a “beer and pretzels” game; fast and fun at the expensive of realism. A design based on the later often finds its way into the “monster” game hall of fame; big and slow with lots of stats. It is indeed rare when a design emerges which nicely balances the two extremes. The end result is a game which is relatively fast and fun while also embodying solid realistic modeling. SSI's Clash of Steel (COS) is one such game. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some well-designed features of COS. On the surface, COS is a very simple and straight-forward game. However, under the surface one will find a magnificently designed and well thought-out model of WWII grand strategy. It is easy to confuse simplicity with a lack of realism. On the other hand, it is also easy to confuse complexity with accuracy.

  • War at Sea: Nineteenth-Century Laws for Twenty-First
    International Review of the Red Cross (2016), 98 (2), 419–447. War and security at sea doi:10.1017/S1816383117000418 War at sea: Nineteenth-century laws for twenty-first- century wars? Steven Haines* Steven Haines is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Greenwich and a retired British naval commander. He chaired the Editorial Board of the UK’s official Manual of the Law of Armed Conflict (2004) and co-authored its chapter on “Maritime Warfare”. He had previously written the Royal Navy’s maritime strategic doctrine (British Maritime Doctrine, 1999). Abstract While most law on the conduct of hostilities has been heavily scrutinized in recent years, the law dealing with armed conflict at sea has been largely ignored. This is not surprising. There have been few naval conflicts since 1945, and those that have occurred have been limited in scale; none has involved combat between major maritime powers. Nevertheless, navies have tripled in number since then, and today there are growing tensions between significant naval powers. There is a risk of conflict at sea. Conditions have changed since 1945, but the law has not developed in that time. Elements of it, especially that regulating economic warfare at sea, seem outdated and it is not clear that the law is well placed to regulate so- called “hybrid” warfare at sea. It seems timely to review the law, to confirm that which is appropriate and to develop that which is not. Perhaps a new edition of the San Remo Manual would be timely. Keywords: naval warfare, conduct of hostilities at sea, sea control, economic warfare, power projection, maritime hybrid warfare, San Remo Manual.

Copyright © 2017 CNA Abstract This paper provides a brief overview of U.S. Navy policy, strategy, plans and operations. It discusses some basic fundamentals and the Navy’s three major operational activities: peacetime engagement, crisis response, and wartime combat. It concludes with a general discussion of U.S. naval forces. It was originally written as a contribution to an international conference on maritime strategy and security, and originally published as a chapter in a Routledge handbook in 2015. The author is a longtime contributor to, advisor on, and observer of US Navy strategy and policy, and the paper represents his personal but well-informed views. The paper was written while the Navy (and Marine Corps and Coast Guard) were revising their tri- service strategy document A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, finally signed and published in March 2015, and includes suggestions made by the author to the drafters during that time.

This experiment took the form of a series of games played by teams from the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the Naval War College. The test bed was the internet-based game SCUDHunt, developed ear- lier by CNA and ThoughtLink Inc. for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. In this simple yet elegant game, players take the roles of sensor asset managers and attempt to deploy their sensors to search a small, gridded map for hidden “SCUD” launchers.

  • How the Us Must Respond to China And
    AMERICAN SEA POWER AND GREAT POWER COMPETITION: HOW THE U.S. MUST RESPOND TO CHINA AND RUSSIA'S GROWING NAVAL CAPABILITY by Richard V. C. Busick A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland May 2020 © 2020 Richard Busick All Rights Reserved Abstract American sea power has diminished significantly since the end of the Cold War. The loss of sea power relative to rising great power competitors risks the ability of the United States to adequately advance or defend its national interests in war or in peace. The current rise of China as a sea power and resurgence of Russia as a growing undersea naval threat pose new challenges for the U.S. Navy. The purpose of this research was to determine if the Navy was prepared to meet this challenge and if not, to identify deficiencies and make recommendations for improvement. This research was conducted using a historical case study approach in which several eras were reviewed and analyzed for their lessons on sealift and naval power and their implications for today. World War II, the Tanker War of the 1980s, and the British Falkland Islands campaign were studied in regard to their implication on sealift and maritime logistics. World War II, the latter part of the Cold War, and the era of the Global War on Terror were then studied for lesson related to naval combat power. The study concluded that the United States was not prepared for the challenges of great power competition.

That initial free rules set proved to be popular and led to the development of the core rulebook, which was an immediate success. A loyal international fan base developed as Victory at Sea quickly earned itself a place as one of the ‘standards’ of World War II naval wargaming.

  • A “Fortress Fleet” for China
    A “Fortress Fleet” for China by James R. Holmes China is attempting to merge old and new technology into what US Navy sea captain and noted sea-power theorist Alfred Thayer Mahan termed a “fortress fleet,” a navy that operates almost solely under cover of shore-based fire support. Reared during the nineteenth century, when naval technology remained rudimentary, Mahan railed against this operational concept for severely limiting the fleet’s radius of action, cramping its freedom of maneuver, and stifling initiative among its commanders. His critique made eminent sense in an era when the effective range of gunfire extended less than ten miles offshore. A fleet tethered to the port would find itself confined to miniscule sea areas, unable to exercise sea power effectively. This is less and less true today. Mahan could scarcely have foreseen advances in military technology like anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles. Such precision weaponry has magnified the reach, accuracy, and destructive potential of coastal defenses. Mobile anti-ship missile batteries stationed along the shorelines can now strike at targets scores, and potentially hundreds of miles, in the distance. Consequently, a coastal state like China can increasingly hope to deter even a superior fleet like the US Navy from attempting to force entry into Asian waters. Failing that, the Chinese Second Artillery Corps, the military’s missile force, can hold US expeditionary and strike groups at risk, raising the operational and strategic costs of entry for Washington and giving US leaders pause in times of strife. In the best case from Beijing’s standpoint, an American president might decline to incur these costs.
