Page "Wargaming" Paragraph 62

* Grand strategy — military strategy at the level of movement and use of an entire state or empire's resources, with the focus being on a war ( or series of wars ) usually over a long period of time.

Individual units, even armies, may not be represented ; instead, attention is given to theaters of operation.

All of the resources of the nations involved may be mobilized as part of a long-term struggle.

This simulation almost always involves political, economic, and military conflict.

At the most extreme end of this is the branch of strategy games in which the player assumes the role of an entire nation-state's government where not conducting war is a possibility.

Axis and Allies, Risk, and Empires in Arms are examples of this type of wargame.
