Wargame Complexity Ladder
A recommended learning path from simple intro games to complex simulations, organized by mechanics and complexity.
[R-73]
Don't start with Advanced Squad Leader. This guide maps out a progression from gateway games to heavy simulations.
Start simple (Memoir '44, Commands & Colors), move to medium complexity (Combat Commander, Conflict of Heroes), then tackle the heavy stuff (ASL, OCS, Next War).
Each step builds skills that prepare you for the next level of complexity.
