- How do you teach a wargame to non-gamers who don’t want to play? Dr. James Sterrett discusses techniques his team at the US Army Command & General Staff College has honed over the past 15 years to ensure they can teach wargames to students quickly and effectively. Topics will include game selection, preparation, teaching, and facilitation, for both manual and digital games.

Useful for anyone interested in community building wargames. Thanks for this.
I wish that I had seen this before I went to CGSC. Then I could have understood Mike and Jame's Jedi mind tricks that they played on me! Thank you for taking to time to share this valuable information!!
Mike, just got to watch this from the beginning. Great job; I have to teach three games to my students this semester (including Sebastian's LC), so it will come in handy.
Solid presentation! Thanks for the Next War shout-out!
Hi, there! I'm from Ukraine, and I am eager to know how to start wargaming for military use. Cause I'm preparing to implement it in my regiment. I'll be greatful for any advice on where to start and what to pursue
