Sometime around the turn of the 19^th century, on an alternate earth, the militaries of eight countries met to hold the first international wargame tournament. A series of seven mock battles were to be fought under conditions made as real as possible, with random assignment of opponents. Some came to test their skill, others to learn new tactics, and still others with an eye toward scouting the opposition in case of a real war. All came to compete, but only one nation would leave the games as the champion.
