Events will showcase the educational wargaming work taking place at King's, including wargames designed by the graduates of Dr David Banks's "Designing Wargames for Education & Analysis" MA modules and wargames designed by Dr David Banks, Anna Nettleship and Network staff to inform dissertation and policy research and to support the institutional goals of partner organizations.
