Page "Wargaming" Paragraph 56

The bulk of wargames concentrate on land warfare, the oldest of all types of warfare, and generally the easiest to simulate.

Naval warfare and naval wargames are also popular, and go all the way back to the beginnings of the hobby.

Aerial warfare is relatively recent, and wargames on the subject are usually tactical games simulating dogfights, there are relatively few dealing with just the air war of a larger conflict.

Dealing with multiple elements complicates the model of the simulation side of a wargame, so games with a true combined arms approach tend to be strategic in nature, where all aspects are abstracted to a greater degree.

While there are some near-future possibilities for space warfare, there are very few ' serious ' games on the subject, and wargames set in space are almost purely in the genre of science fiction.
