3.3 Design Summary

We designed WARLOC with the goal of preparing officers to serve in a joint billet at an operational command. WARLOC is a casual wargame where the players achieve the game’s learning objectives through active participation as the commander of a joint operational command. The level of combat presented in the game is one in which most junior officers have little to no personal experience. It attempts to reduce complex decisions and realworld processes into smaller and more manageable steps. The game introduces the players to air operations in a simplified format which gives the players a basic concept of airpower. Lastly, by using a turn-based gameplay system, the game provides players with the time to assess the operational scenario and then plan and execute their response rather than simply reacting without planning. This transition into deliberate planning and execution is a hallmark of an operational command. The next step after designing the wargame is to develop the wargame into a playable, web-based prototype.
