I am sure you will all love this new space with separate rooms for events, Flea Market/War College and the Dealers. The deadline to get an event listed in the PEL (Preliminary Event List) is the end of January! Uncle Duke will be joining us again with his Crusades adventure Richard I. We always look forward to having Duke with us and are glad he is still in good enough health to join us. The room block is open, and the room rate is $121.00 and you can find a link to the room block on our website. We have made changes to the food hours and choices from the hotel, and there are many restaurants in the area as well. The ever popular Paint N Take will return again. This year you can find them back in the hallway by the Dealer Room. As we have for the last two years we will continue with Judge awards, in addition to the Best Themed Event, we will be presenting the following new awards for Judges in 2016. The Best Event for each day, including overall the best, then 2nd place and 3rd place for each day. Each place would be awarded a voucher for varying dollar amounts based on the placing. This voucher can then be used in the dealer area to make a purchase. The benefit here is for the judge that wins will get recognition and some free merchandise. This voucher must be used at that year’s convention and will not have a cash value as in the entire amount must be spent at one dealers table or the rest of the amount is forfeited. This also benefits the dealers obviously as they will record the amount spent and turn in the vouchers to HMGS Midwest for reimbursement. In addition all winners can have a Bio in the next issue of the newsletter if they desire. This also has a side benefit of providing some quality events which in turn should draw in more at- tendees. Best event (1st Place) each day will be awarded a voucher for $20.00 Best event (2nd Place) each day will be awarded a voucher for $15.00 Best event (3rd Place) each day will be awarded a voucher for $10.00 Remember, Little Wars is April 28 - 30, 2017. We hope to see everyone at our new venue. Looking forward to it myself.

  • 4. Wargaming the Middle East: the Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities
    4. Wargaming the Middle East: The Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities Janina Schupp Abstract Shortly after the end of a tank combat during the Gulf War, a team of US Army historians, scientists, and engineers flew to Iraq to gather detailed data of the battle. The collected information was used to create an exact virtual simulation of the combat for training. The mapping capability – offered by the resulting simulation game 73 Easting – to visualize the battlefield from any position and point in time revolutionized military exercises. With ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, these digital training cartographies are now linked to real bodies and vehicles through digital and mobile technologies during live training in artificially constructed villages. This chapter analyses this evolution and critically investigates the growing ‘gamification’ ensuing in these representations of Middle Eastern battlefields. Keywords: Wargames, Middle East, interactive battlespace, live simulations In war the experienced soldier reacts in the same way as the human eye does in the dark: the pupil expands to admit what little light there is, discerning objects by degrees, and finally seeing them indistinctly. By contrast, the novice is plunged into the deepest night. […] It is immensely important that no soldier, whatever his rank, should wait for war to expose him to those aspects of active service that amaze and confuse him when he first comes across them. (Clausewitz 1989, p. 122) Strohmaier, A. and A. Krewani (eds.), Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa: Producing Space. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2021 doi 10.5117/9789462989092_ch04 96 JANINA SCHUPP The act of playing at war is deeply engrained in human history and has per- sisted to the present day in both professional and hobby culture.

  • A Study of the British Army in the Closing Stages of the Seven Years War in Western Europe As Studied Through the Battle of Vellinghausen
    1 Battle of Vellinghausen: Lessons Learnt? A Study of the British army in the closing stages of the Seven Years War in Western Europe as studied through the Battle of Vellinghausen Samuel James Dodson Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Masters by Research in History University of Leeds Department of History September 2019 2 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement The right of Samuel James Dodson to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by Samuel James Dodson in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 3 Abstract This is a study of the British military actions in Western Germany during the Seven Years War, investigating the army’s ability in combat and analysing its improvements through the case study of the Battle of Vellinghausen. This will provide a more concentrated scope of the conflict centred on the Western theatre, rather than the general study upon the British army in America or the academic’s attraction with the Battle of Minden. With this in mind the research will be significant as it will open up discussions on how the British army fought in the European style during the mid-eighteenth century, as well as aiming to explore whether the British army learnt from its lessons early in the war to become an efficient fighting machine.
