Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paddy Griffith's wargame of Operation Sealion at the British Army Staff College in 1974 was ground breaking. It was a serious piece of academic research, using a wargame to explore a contested area of military history. He assembled a team of subject matter experts from Britain and Germany to run a wargame to explore what would have happened if the Germans had launched their planned invasion of Britain. To umpire and play in the game, he used combat veterans with senior command experience, including some who were involved in 1940. They included Adolf Galland, the Luftwaffe ace. This is the story of that game, including previously unpublished material such as briefings, analysis, guidance for umpires and post-game reflections. Their conclusions about the outcome of the game, based on using a wargame as an academic tool, were unanimous. "The resulting analysis of the Sealion Wargame is the most authoritative assessment yet produced of the prospects for this titanic and consequential hypothetical struggle." Peter Perla The book is published by the History of Wargaming Project as part of its work to document the development of wargaming.
