xlhrider started an interesting thread asking the question of which historical battle is the topic of the most wargames. As the thread demonstrates, this is difficult to determine. The idea of this geeklist is to use a 'wiki' strategy and let several users contribute so as to get as complete an accounting as possible.

There will be some debate on which games belong. As a starting point lets use these rules:

If a game is on some aspect of the battle, it belongs on the list. For example, a game about the 20th Maine or Little Round Top belongs on the Gettysburg list, since it obviously indicates an interest in that battle.

If a game is focused on a broader campaign, but simply includes the battle in question, it does not belong on the list. Only if the battle is the primary focus of the game, does it belong. So, for example, A Victory Lost, which includes Stalingrad as abstraction only, does not belong, but Stalingrad Pocket II does, since, while it focused on the outskirts of the battle, the clear design focus is on portraying how the battle on the flanks impacted the overall battle. Obviously, then, games focused on the entire multi-year Eastern Front do not belong on the Stalingrad list either.

Go ahead and include mutliple entries if a game has multiple editions. I think if a game is popular enough to get revised and reprinted, it demonstates an enduring interest in the topic.

We'll have to debate the games a bit to firm up the crieria I think.
