From Strategy Informer: “Though its now considered to be a more serious branch of the strategy genre, wargaming first arose as in-depth training exercises meant to develop the decision-making skills of real life military personnel. Civilians eventually caught wind of the thrills of conquering these incredibly difficult challenges, and its no wonder that videogames would end up adopting many of these mechanics in classics like Strategic Simulations Panzer General series.”
