Theaterspiel © 1962 Operations Research Office.
Military training simulation game. The player takes the role of the theater commander and must make all the decisions. Combat results are generally resolved on division level. Input for the game is handled with punch cards and the results are printed using a line printer. Each player is supplied with a status of all forces at the start of the game and a map and intelligence which differs between the two teams.
The game is similar to "Hutspiel". The primary difference is that it models an entire theater of war. It was used by the United states for studying Army problems with a focus on ground combat operations, but it also includes air operations, air defense and logistics. All the bookkeeping and most of the assessment procedures are handled by the computer.
