My Urban Wargames

 

Here are the games that I am working related to urban and the PhD and which form part of my thesis - listed from strategic to tactical. Just click on the game name to go to the game specific page.

• The Urban Calculus (TUC) - highly abstracted urban game/systems model
• OPUC - Operational Level Urbanised Campaigning - Div and Corps level
• City and CEMA - a detailed Bn and Bde level game
• RUCKUS - my fast play Bn and Bde level game
• Brick by Bloody Brick - Pl and Coy level game
• Vertical Urban Wargame - using smartphones and 10mm miniatures to get a soldiers eye view of urban combat at Platoon/Company level
• Rubble Town - a card based solo game introducing some of the key elements of urban warfare

The aim is to make all of them available under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA Licence, and, where applicable make them available as print'n'play and on Tabletop Simulator.

These games have also been produced during the PhD but are not explicitly covered in the thesis.

• Cityfight 2024 - an updating of the SPI double-blind Section/Pl level game.
• Festung:Ortona - Storm of Arnhem style area-impulse game on Ortona, 1943, inspired by Christmas in Hell
• Trieste 1945 - postcard game

If you are playing one of my games and wish to contribute formal feedback, then each game page will link to it unique survey form, and also to the online versions of my Research Ethics forms.
