One of the reasons that the Prussians recognized kriegspiels as a tool with which to prepare an army for war was that the games offered Prussian officers the opportunity to practice making decisions and seeing the consequences of those decisions. Military history (obviously emphasizing good military history) offers similar opportunities as the reader follows a past commander's series of decisions from planning to execution to building on the outcome.
