Which wargaming medium best supports learning?

Would you learn operational theory better through physical or computer wargaming?

It depends on your strengths and learning style: compare giving instructions on a screen with moving markers across a physical plot.

The closing question asks whether operational ideas are easier to learn and test on a computer or through a physical floor game with chalk and markers. The answer depends on the learner's own strengths and weaknesses. A final caveat notes that rules presented as WATU's are apparently an adapted version of Fred T. Jane's naval wargame rather than an unchanged original system. The prompt connects WATU's wartime method to experiential learning while preserving uncertainty about the fidelity of later reconstructions.
