Abstract

The so-called “Quick Game”-models resemble a central element within the Compound Gaming approach of military systems analysis proposed by Huber ［1, 2］. This paper introduces such an analytical model designed to investigate the battle-effectiveness of alternative army structures. The nature of its results is discussed from numerical experiments covering the (German) Army Structure 4, Loser's Area Coverage Defence Concept, and Afheldt's Area Defence Concept. It turns out that Loser's concept promises to have a comparatively high potential to stabilize the early conventional forward defence, hence being an interesting alternative for further analysis in depth.
