īoard Game = other than to provide context of the origin the genre, no miniature games, rule sets or books are included Hopefully, this list will take us on the journey of where those worlds of play take us, through the games that we play. “Tactical wargaming comes to us from two separate strains of simulation: the 'toy soldiers and cannons' world of play, with its focus on the arts-and-crafts modeling of the environment, troops, and materiel and the 'staff officer kriegspiel' world of play, with its focus on situational assessment, double-blind issuance of orders, and refereed outcomes.” – Zones of Control. With that in mind, the list may serve, in some small way, as a collection of the community's perspective on these games and this niche of the larger wargaming hobby.

Despite all my efforts, this research is by no means exhaustive and I most likely have left out some notable entries in the history, so please feel free to comment and I will periodically update the list. This list is presented in a chronological/timeline format, with an attempt to highlight key games/systems. This is an attempt to show the evolution of SUT board wargames through the progression/development/presentation of the games themselves. As a result, I thought I would share some of my findings in a geeklist (especially as I have not posted one in a while and, more importantly, it allows for the individual boardgame entries to speak for themselves). which in turn, lead me to delve into the history or evolution of small unit tactical wargames. which in turn, lead me to look at the different perspectives demonstrated by the various designs. Which in turn, lead me to look into the different types of tactical wargames. This prompted me to take a closer look at my collection, confirming that I own several (over 40) different land-based small unit tactical (platoon or smaller) wargames (SUT for short). My game playing habits tend to fall into trends and for some reason, I have been in a wargame “mood” for several months now, and more specifically, tactical wargames. Even the painting reinforced the difference in perspective-being from the view of a Japanese plane. However, it prompted me to think about perspective. Now, anyone who travels internationally or happens to cross the International Date Line, will realize that was the date in Japan. As I looked closer, I noticed something out of place – well, out of place to us in the US who grew up with Franklin Roosevelt’s historic radio address of “December 7th, 1941 a date that will live in infamy” - the little bronze title placard stated December 8, 1941. While viewing the pieces, I notice a painting of the attack on Pearl Harbor depicting the Japanese planes flying over the island toward the harbor. During a business trip, I was able to stop by the art museum next to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. It stems partly from my uncles, one who served on the USS Lexington during the Battle of the Coral Sea, one who fought at Iwo Jima and the other who died in New Guinea (the only one of 6 brothers to serve during WWII who was drafted) and partly from my visit to Japan in the mid-2000s. December 7th will always have a special reverence in my memory. Submitting this the day before National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
