The Wargame: definition and how it differs from a traditional board game

A wargame is a simulation that recreates a conflict or battle that actually took place, or sometimes an alternate-history scenario based on plausible premises. Unlike a traditional board game, where the theme serves mainly as a backdrop, a wargame is based on a map, units differentiated by their role (infantry, armoured vehicles, artillery, ships) and rules that model real-world factors: terrain, logistics, morale, etc. This rigour sets it apart from games with a military theme but abstract mechanics, such as Risk, where combat boils down to a roll of the dice without taking the context into account. Titles such as Axis & Allies straddle the line between the two worlds: more detailed than a standard board game, yet simplified compared to a highly specialised wargame. The genre features several publishers renowned for the rigour of their simulations, including GMT Games, Avalon Hill, Multi-Man Publishing and Compass Games.

Why play a historical game?

Playing a wargame allows you to engage with a conflict actively rather than merely as a historical account. Players make strategic or tactical decisions and can explore alternatives to those taken by real-life military leaders, which gives the game a reflective dimension regarding the unfolding of events. Fans of the genre appreciate the depth of the rules, the need to anticipate the consequences of every decision, and the fidelity to the constraints of the period being simulated: supply lines, weather and military doctrine. Historical wargames appeal both to history enthusiasts wishing to deepen their knowledge and to players seeking demanding strategic challenges, with a single game session potentially lasting several hours or even spanning multiple sessions.

Wargames for all historical periods

The richness of the genre also lies in the breadth of periods covered. Our catalogue allows you to explore the entire spectrum of military history: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the 17th and 18th centuries, the 19th century, the First World War, the Second World War and modern warfare. Some games also feature imaginary conflicts, set in science-fiction or fantasy worlds, applying the same simulation principles to fictional battles. This diversity means every player can find a period that particularly interests them, whether it be ancient phalanxes, Napoleonic cavalry charges or Second World War armoured vehicles.

From major series to niche titles

Philibert’s catalogue includes both flagship series and more niche titles. Among the must-haves are Advanced Squad Leader (ASL), the benchmark for tactical combat in the Second World War, Axis & Allies, Commands & Colors and its family-friendly version Mémoire 44, as well as Panzer Grenadier and Conflict of Heroes. Alongside these widely recognised titles, the catalogue offers more specialised games, designed for experienced players or focusing on specific themes: Der Weltkrieg, La Bataille, Lace Wars, Great Statesmen, COIN, Wing Leader, Next War and Warfighter. For those new to the genre, Mémoire 44, Axis & Allies or the Folio and Mini series from Decision Games are excellent starting points, thanks to their accessible rules and shorter games.
