Join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/NTc8bVT4xz Our Mission: AWAU promotes the professional practice and hobby of wargaming to students and community members. Through gameplay, discussion, and guest lectures from wargaming professionals, our programming educates members on the professional applications of games and simulations. We also run collaborative events with external wargaming organizations to provide networking opportunities and expand understanding of the utility and limitations of professional wargames. What is Wargaming? "A wargame is a model involving people making decisions in a synthetic environment of competition or conflict, in which they see the effects of their decisions on that environment and then get to react to those changes." -Peter Perla Our programming focuses on board wargames. We explore historic, future, and fictional conflicts from the strategic to the tactical level. Some of the games we play are Twilight Struggle, Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy, and Breaking the Chains. No experience is necessary, come prepared to learn! The Association for Wargaming is open to all students.
