2012 Schedule & Program World Boardgaming Championships 2012 Schedule & Program July 30 - August 5, 2012 Pre-Cons begin July 28 Lancaster Host Resort Lancaster, PA www.boardgamers.org [email protected] Contents 1 is an association of boardgame enthusiasts incorporated as a non-profit company BPA in the state of South Carolina for the express purpose of hosting the annual gaming conference known as the World Boardgaming Championships, or WBC for short. It offers tourna- ments, vendors, an auction, demonstrations, seminars, open gaming, and Juniors programs. In ad- dition, for those who can’t get enough, we offer numerous focused Pre-Cons on the weekend before WBC. We do other things, such as mini-cons and e-mail tournaments, but our raison d’etre is WBC. We love boardgaming competition—from wargames and Eurogames to racing, sports, and rail games, and we make no apologies for it. It’s what we do. And we take pride in doing it better than anybody else. To find out more about our activities spend some time on our website at www.boardgamers.org. You’ll find more pre- and post-event information than anywhere else on the net—over 2,000 pages of it. It’s not very lucrative or cost effective, but we think it demonstrates our commitment to this hobby. You can help continue this madness by taking a moment to subscribe to our FREE e-mail news- letter via the web site or trade links with our Webmaster from your local club site. Finally, continue to spread the good news about our association and its activities by bringing your fellow gamers to the best week of gaming all year!

For a number of years Reisswitz’s father has fought battles with friends using blocks on a sand-table. Reisswitz has come up with the innovative idea of translating his father’s game to large scale maps using small blocks with standard military symbols and a scientific set of rules that enable the movement and combat of formations to be reproduced with great precision. Reisswitz’ rules were written to enable a Blue Prussian Corps, Division or Brigade to pitched against a similar Red Prussian Corps or Division, on large scale maps, moderated by an umpire and assistants.

  • Panzer Warrior
    Panzer Warrior Panzer Blitz/Panzer Leader Rules consolidation Consolidated by Fred Schwarz Incorporating Optional Rules by Byron Henderson, and some new rules by Fred Schwarz Developed by Byron Henderson and Keith Plymale V1.21 12-26-2016 Preface I have been playing PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader since the early 1970s. PanzerBlitz was the first wargame I owned and I have great nostalgic feel for the game. At times it has sat on my shelf un- played for long but I come back to it now and then. The game has an elegant simplicity and is very good game of positioning and maneuver. But I have always been bothered that nuanced differences exist between PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader; and I don’t like having to make the mental leap each time I change games. Also I have never really liked the lack of Indirect Fire ability in PB but don’t like the lethality and record keeping of those rules in PL. So I set about consolidating the two rule books into one, while integrating many of the excellent rule changes done by Mr. Byron Henderson. For a more detailed look at how I set about doing this consolidation and why I made certain decisions, please read the Consolidator’s notes at the end of the rules. This is my first endeavor at doing such a rules consolidation. I hope I have been successful. I ask the gaming community to take some time to play with these rules as written and to provide feedback to me. At some time down the road, I will take another look and see if your thoughts and suggestions should be incorporated.

  • From Wargaming to Peacegaming: Digital Simulations with Peacekeeper Roles Needed A
    INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING 2020, VOL. 27, NO. 2, 289–310 https://doi.org/10.1080/13533312.2020.1721287 From Wargaming to Peacegaming: Digital Simulations with Peacekeeper Roles Needed A. Walter Dorna, Stewart Webbb and Sylvain Pâquetc aRoyal Military College and the Canadian Forces College, Toronto, Canada; bDefence Report, Salt Spring Island, Canada; cCanada Border Services Agency, Ottawa, Canada ABSTRACT Militaries around the world have benefited from computerized games. Many recruits have been attracted to the military through military-style video games. After recruitment, games and simulations provide an important means of soldier training, including before actual deployments. However, electronic games are lacking for UN peace operations. The multidimensionality of peacekeeping has yet to be simulated in serious games to complement the many games that too often depict a binary battlefield of blue-team versus red-team (or, often in public games, good versus evil). Not only could soldiers benefit from nuanced and ambitious peace-related games, so too could civilian peacekeepers, and the public at large. Peacekeeping gaming should not be merely at the tactical level; the operational and strategic levels can be gamed as well. The decision-making in future peacekeeping simulations could help instruct conflict-resolution and critical thinking skills. The paper posits that such digital games could be an important tool for current and future peacekeepers, both military and civilian. Commercial games could also help educate the public on UN peacekeeping. The paper suggests that the United Nations partner with some member states and perhaps the video game industry to provide in-depth training simulations that mirror the challenges and complexities of modern peace operations.
