Using simulations for military training is as old as war itself. Romans drilled with wooden weapons. The Prussians led the world on the use of wargames with Kriegsspiel. In the modern day, computer simulation is a vital tool for developing weapons and doctrine, as well as training. The UK Fight Club is yet another way for the British Armed Forces to simulate warfare, but it is taking a unique approach. It works to make gaming far more accessible to every level of the Armed Forces. More than that, it seeks to change culture, making gaming a more common approach to improve thinking and fighting across all dimensions of conflict and competition.
