The Wargames are a category of strategic game that has the purpose of reconstructing historical military events. From the perspective of many people, with the Wargames you have a way to explore the war itself with no real combat experience. Now for many people the Wargames have become a hobby where one or more players can simulate battles or wars. The most traditional of wargames is of course, the board game, played on a map, with pieces that represent the forces in the field, following the rules and tables for combat. Another component that is part of Wargames table is the “counter” which generally are rectangles of cardboard representing armies or military units. The most modern Wargames though are computer games that show the units and the scenario of war on the monitor. There are many advantages of digital Wargames:, there is no need to manage data, because the computer will manage the whole game. The possibility to save, stop and restart at any point in the game is very convenient too. There are different types of Wargames classified according the environment, historical period, the map scale or size. There are, of course, many of them that are dedicated to war in ancient Rome!
Rome will host the European Championship of Wargames that will be held for three   days starting on July the 9^th , 2009.
