Multi Sphere Wargame (beta)
SoW (Spheres of War) combines four traditional (non-computer) wargames under one roof. These 'spheres' being: Technical, Tactical, Strategic and Politico. Each sphere can be played in isolation from the others, or combined into a massive, sprawling, inter-connected game covering all aspects of war (ideal for a gaming club).
When inter-connect the result from a game in one sphere can influence the games played within other spheres. This allows players of a game within the Strategy Sphere to hand off battles to players of Tactical Sphere, who can fight the battles and report back. Also within battles the players can hand of commando missions/ scouting events to those playing the Technical Sphere or link to RPG sessions. For more information see the dev site: WarSpike.
The Tactical Sphere: This is a table top wargame using miniatures using scales 6-28mm. Where armies number in the hundreds and even thousands.
The Technical Sphere: This is a far more detailed version of the Tactical game. Such games are know as warband games, a sub-set of wargames.
The Strategy Sphere: The game with the greatest scope, and is use to manage battles fought in the Tactical Sphere as a campaign manager. It used markers and not miniatures and takes into account production, propaganda and other factors.
The Political Sphere: Politics is war, and determines when military action (Strategy) is used - as Sun Tzu said: "politics is war without bloodshed and war is politics with bloodshed". The Political Sphere covers the concept of 'Business is war', and other social competition. When combined with the Technical Sphere it forms the basis of a role-play game.
