combat simulations

Mock warfare exercises

Combat simulations are exercises or programs that replicate warfare conditions for training, analysis, or entertainment.

Military forces use them to practice tactics without real casualties: The battalion ran combat simulations before deployment.

In gaming, combat simulations aim for realistic depictions of battle mechanics and military equipment.

The term covers everything from tabletop war games to sophisticated computer models used by defense planners.
