  • How World of Warships Doubled Referrals with Amazon Moments
    How World of Warships doubled referrals with Amazon Moments 100% 38% 20% 42% increase in increase in average increase in conversions decrease in cost referrals revenue per user to payers per action CHALLENGES World of Warships is a free-to-play naval warfare-themed multiplayer online game produced and published by Wargaming. World of Warships had an existing referral program targeted at both acquiring new players and winning back lapsed players (over 90 days inactive) but wanted to improve the participation numbers and make it more valuable for players to refer their friends. In addition, they were looking to explore the potential of a rewards powered referral program as a more cost effective user acquisition channel. World of Warships had previously tested a small pilot campaign to enable rewards for referrals but needed a more streamlined solution for providing rewards across multiple countries. Amazon Moments allowed World of Warships to easily deliver valuable, real-world rewards to players to drive acquisition and winback and lower acquisition costs. SOLUTION To increase player referrals and drive stickiness for new and returning users, World of Warships launched a Moments-powered campaign that provided Amazon credits to players who referred a friend (a recruit). Recruits were invited to join or return to the game via personal referral links sent by World of Warships players. To qualify for the referral reward, new recruits needed to play a battle on a non-premium tier 6 ship, and returned players needed to win 25 battles. To participate in the referral program, players needed to have at least 15 battles played on their account.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • World of Warships: Legends Celebrates Anniversary with Major Update
    World of Warships: Legends Celebrates Anniversary With Major Update First Anniversary Events, French Destroyers in Early Access, German Battleship Campaign in the July Update AUSTIN, TX (July 27, 2020) - World of Warships: Legends gears up for its first anniversary with ​ a line of French Destroyers in early access, a new campaign to summon the Norse god Odin, and two seasons of ranked battles! This anniversary update also brings back items from past events the first year, including rare commanders. Whether they are starting in Legends for the first time, returning, or have sailed from the beginning, players are sure to find something to appreciate in this installment. Trailer can be seen here. ​ ​ Legends was fully released in August 2019, so this month's update will be full of First Anniversary events. Most notably, there's a new "Legendary Birthday" project in the Bureau. This relatively short project will take players through this past year's updates, including themed rewards for each one. In addition, each week of the update will have special missions and offers bringing back exclusive equipment and commanders from Legends' biggest updates. If players missed one of these events, they can catch up or collect some of these items during this update. The ever-growing ship roster is set to get a whole new ship branch! The French navy destroyers are making their speedy way into early access. These are some of the most fast-paced destroyers in the game–defined by their unique lack of Smoke Generator consumables. However, they make up for this in spades thanks to their cruiser-like firepower, blistering speed, and, at higher tiers, Main-Battery Reload Booster consumables.

  • Cyber Wargaming: Finding, Designing, and Playing Wargames for Cyber Security Education
    Cyber Wargaming: Finding, Designing, and Playing Wargames for Cyber Security Education Andreas Haggman Submitted to Royal Holloway, University of London for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Security Supervised by Professor Keith Martin Professor Klaus Dodds February 2019 1 Declaration of authorship I, Andreas Haggman, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis investigates, and contributes to, the use of wargaming in cyber security education. Wargaming has a rich history of pedagogic use, but little work exists that addresses the critically important subject of cyber security. Cyber security is a global problem that frequently makes news headlines, yet the field is dogged with a reputation as a domain only for technologists, when in fact cyber security requires a whole gamut of approaches to be properly understood. The thesis is broadly divided into three parts. The first part is a comprehensive literature review of wargaming scholarship, analysing the benefits and drawbacks of wargaming, and some of the justifications for why a tabletop boardgame may be more effective than a game enhanced by technology. Following on from this, the thesis provides an outline of current work in cyber wargaming by analysing existing games, evaluating their contributions as educational tools, and identifying successful game mechanics and components. The second part of the thesis outlines the design process of an original wargame created for cyber security education and awareness training. The analysis outlines what the game design intends to achieve in terms of pedagogical outcomes and how the design evolved through the development process.

The good vibes and learning points from the PEGI Congress in November 2010 were taken along into the new year and put to good use. PEGI is well established as the standard system for the “traditional” boxed game market as a trusted source of information for parents and other consumers. We have almost reached the point where PEGI is only unknown to parents if they deliberately choose to ignore video games entirely. A mistake, since practically every child or teenager in Europe enjoys video games. Promoting an active parental involvement in the gaming experiences of their children is a primary objective for PEGI, which situates itself at the heart of that.
