thread_title: Cleanup message

message: I changed material back to materiel because I wanted the military meaning of the word, and linked it to the Wikipedia article on the same - hopefuly that should prevent further confusion ;-) EyeSereneTALK 21:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Material/Materiel

message: Tag removed - it was added without discussion on this page & the editor hasn't responded to my invitation to open said discussion. The article was written with a global perspective in mind (I'm not from the US!), but much of the available reference material is from the US - mostly I think because (1) this is where Simulation is most used, and (2) it is easier for authors to get relevant documents declassified. Of course, I'm open to any suggestions for improvement... EyeSereneTALK 18:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Globalise tag

message: I agree with the GA failure. One major critique with the article is that within the NATO "military simulation" community a lot of current source materials refer to what is now commonly known as the "LVC" categories of "military simulation". "LVC" stands for Live, Virtual, and Constructive categories of simulation. "Live Simulations" generally refer to simulated scenarios with live people using real equipment (aka military exercises), but which may also include quantitative instrumented range-based data insertion or collection. "Virtual Simulations" generally refer to simulated scenarios with live people operating simulated equipment (Flight Simulators, Navy Bridge Simulators, Army Vehicle Simulators for example), in both networked and non-networked configurations. "Constructive Simulations" refer to simulated scenarios with simulated people conducting simulated behaviours. This article seems predominantly concerned with one particular sub-category of military simulation, namely "Strategic Constructive Simulations", and therefore it gives me an unbalanced feel. 
That subcategory however is quite often still referred to as "wargaming", especially when it refers to the sub-sub category of constuctive simulations that rely on stochastic attrition models. So, the objection to the "wargaming" label cited within the article may not even be due to some sort of professional critique or recent political correctness ("war is not a game"), but rather the more recent and continuing situation that there are few actively used military simulations in this narrow category. The "military simulation" field has drastically changed since the dawn of low-cost computers to include all of the above categories, along with several detailed sub-types. In my opinion, the article does not represent the current situation regarding "military simulation" very well, and would probably require a major refactoring to bring such a structure into it, in a meaningful way. Given the article's current length, I'm not confident or energetic enough to be bold and go at it, but there's my 300 words worth about the topic if someone wants to pursue that approach.

thread_title: Some thoughts on restructuring

message: I fully agree with all the above comments ;) A major restructure/rewrite is on my to-do list, but if anyone wants to jump in... EyeSereneTALK 13:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  good RS for basic fact of Wargames 

message: During the Cold War, the Strategic Air Command's 1st Combat Evaluation Group deployed radar bomb scoring units from Barksdale Air Force Base on board military railroad cars  to score simulated thermonuclear bombing of cities in the continental United States.

replies: text: I patched it in at the end of the article, but someone more capable than I should work it into the text above. Radar bomb-scoring of simulated nuclear bombardment evolved from actual ground directed bombing, and then back again in Operation Menu. See also Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles and Drone attacks in Pakistan, which amount to "Ender's Games" for adults. --Pawyilee (talk) 04:07, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Can I write an article for this exercise (if there is not one already). The transatlantic phase was censored by the press for perceived failing and the second phase directly preceded the Invasion of Grenada. We also have good pictures already to include! If we don't have it somewhere, can I put it together? --Tefalstar (talk) 19:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
