Book Synopsis The Wargames, The Roman Art And Science Of War by : André Geraque Kiffer
Download or read book The Wargames, The Roman Art And Science Of War written by André Geraque Kiffer and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Board wargames are one of the most common forms of conflict simulation in mathematical models throughout history. They are based on a map, topographic or from a satellite photo, where a hexagonal grid (numbered) or other geometric shape is applied to regulate the positioning and movement of the parts (forces). The pieces, like those of chess, are identified by symbols, colors and numbers that register their historical qualities and quantities. Two tables are basic, the effects of geography (terrain) - associated with weather conditions - on the movements and the likely outcomes (according to the relativity of opposing powers) of the combats on the abilities of the pieces involved. The sequence of each game is divided into a set number of turns, or other names, which vary according to the time scale, and may range from minutes to years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Technique we will simulate, that better advised, Hannibal would have predicted the evolution of the training of the Roman army and in one of the decisive actions of his plan would not have wasted his elephants against the legionaries but instead employed them against the horses, still susceptible to the instinct to the fear of these. The Carthaginians will employ the reinforced oblique Jomini battle order on the attacking flank (as, although superior in quantity they were inferior in quality): the shock of the Carthaginian line will follow from the right wing with the elephants leading the cavalry Carthaginian against that of the Roman equites - less accustomed to elephants than the Numidians; continuing the infantry tug of war in the center; until the engagement of the Numid cavalry on the left.
Book Synopsis Battle Of Cannae, August 2nd, 216 Bc by : André Geraque Kiffer
Download or read book Battle Of Cannae, August 2nd, 216 Bc written by André Geraque Kiffer and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tactics should have sought to guard against the surprises of the Carthaginian device. Initially, leaving aside the pride of the Equites citizens, the cavalry would have been balanced on both flanks, preventing the elite from facing a 1:3 ratio (1,600 versus 5,000); and infantry would not have been all concentrated in the center, not only after the initial success, but throughout the battle the penetration shoulders - right and left wings - would have been strengthened. In practice it will employ a Cuneus - the staggered over the center or convex but with flanks on Jomini s discontinuous lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the simulation we will test what it would have been like if a Carthaginian squadron tried to engage - not fix - Roman consular squadrons (the two at the forefront wedge), another squadron delayed the approach of the Roman reinforcement (base of the wedge) while a third Carthaginian squadron attacked. to destroy Roman transports. As for technology, the state of the art of war then associated with the available scientific knowledge leads us to simulate what the Ecnomus campaign and naval battle would have been like if the Carthaginian Navy had adopted and developed the use of incendiary artifacts such as ceramic pots with fire, thrown by siege machines like the ballistas. On the other hand, it is certain that the Romans at this stage of the war would not use such devices for fear of associating hooking with fire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the simulation the Tactic will be as soon as the outer perimeter is broken, the Gauls Army Wing in the oppidum will break - in the same direction, in the opposite way - the inner perimeter. Obtained this junction (First Phase of the Campaign) will be maintained this connecting corridor until the two sectors of the divided Roman Army are beaten in parts (Second Phase of the Campaign). The cavalry will protect the flanks and rear of the Gauls forces against the Roman auxiliary cavalry, and will pursue any Roman forces attempting to retreat.
Book Synopsis Battle Of Adrianople, August 9th, 378 Ad by : André Geraque Kiffer
Download or read book Battle Of Adrianople, August 9th, 378 Ad written by André Geraque Kiffer and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the simulation Flavius s Operational Strategy, of course, should have been to avoid direct confrontation without Gratianus’ reinforcement. But since the Romans believed they had a numerical advantage because they did not distrust Goths cavalry away from the camp, it would be difficult to avoid attacking. The Tactic should have sought to surprise the Goths device in presence, either in time (speed of charges) or in space (battle order) of the attack. That is, it will ignore Fritigern s request for parliament and will now attack - a Fulgurbellum - as advised by its legates and tribunes. In practice it will employ an Agmen Impetum, seeking with its infantry to fix and destroy the opponent, while with its cavalry it protects itself in the flanks. Once conquered the Wagenburg will unfold in the Agmen Quadratum formation.

Book Synopsis Punic Wars, 264 Bc by : André Geraque Kiffer
Download or read book Punic Wars, 264 Bc written by André Geraque Kiffer and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let us consider, to make the next simulation possible, that the political power of Carthage (the suffetes and the families descended from kings) would have understood the risk of living in the shadow of Rome. They would understand that, although the vocation of their people (of Phoenician origin) was essentially mercantilist, they could not continue to practice it peacefully, should the Roman Senate decide to expand its territory beyond the Italic peninsula. And so, rather late (because they could have conquered all of Sicily, involved in the Greek wars a long time ago) than never they would decide for a total war against Rome, to destroy its political power over the other nations of the peninsula so that they could conform to a Confederate Republic. This would not forever prevent the inexorable march of Roman power, but perhaps postpone or significantly alter its effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the technical features of having heavier ships rigged with masts and sails, Antonius and Cleopatra s fleet could have sailed into Agmen (column) to a safe distance that left the enemy in doubt as to their battle order, and at the last possible moment formed a large Orbis (yes, a square similar to the tactical terrestrial formation, but without spaces inside) and like a ruptured ram ahead and then sailed towards Egypt - with hoisted sails - like a large convoy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The politics of the Republic of Carthage will be played, while the actions of the other contemporary powers will be simulated based on historical assumptions, each seeking to apply its own policy of “Divide et Impera” in a scenario that we can affirm, according to geographer Eratosthenes, as the first world war.

Download or read book War and Games written by Tim Cornell and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These comparative studies focus on the relationship between war and games in an effort to achieve an understanding of the phenomenon of war, in order ultimately to avoid it. Out of the ten studies on war and games in this volume, the first five are historical, the next two are by anthropologists, and the last three concern modern war games. The purpose of this comparative study is to focus on the relationship between war and games by highlighting their differences and similarities in an effort better to understand the phenomenon of war. Americans and Europeans contribute studies on war and games in ancient Greece, the lack ofmilitary games in Byzantium, jousts in the middle ages, 'flower wars' and the Aztec and Maya ball game, games in pre-industrial societies and their relation to war, and aspects of computer and video games. Contributors T.B.ALLEN, T.J. CORNELL, M. HERMAN, BRUCE M. KNAUFT, C.M.MAZZUCCHI, P.A.G. SABIN, A.A. SHELTON, DAVID TURTON, T. ZOTZ.
