Abstract
In recent years, the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has embraced competitive conflict simulation as an approach to train and educate the officer corps for future high-end naval combat. The PLAN regards these wargaming competitions as a useful means to popularise wargaming across the service, thereby allowing more personnel to benefit from conflict simulation. These benefits include increased understanding of the challenges the PLAN would face in a high-end naval conflict and opportunities to hone command leadership skills. Ryan D Martinson argues that although large-scale adoption of wargaming methodologies may achieve some of these anticipated benefits, there are also several likely drawbacks to this approach. ■
