Does anyone know or have views on consultancies out there who specialise in providing scenario planning and war-gaming services?

I don't know, but this does remind me of a great film, Wargames. Ah, Matthew Broderick at his finest (apart from Ferris Bueller of course).

Check out http://niteworks.net/partnership/This gives a list of the companies who are providing scenario planning etc. to the MOD within the 'network enabled capability' (comms) arena.Detica is another good bet (esp. now that they are owned by BAE Systems)Another, smaller firm, worth investigating is HVR.SS

Totally agree -I'd suggest looking at HVR. Strongly recommend looking at CORDA - its their bread & butter! They're a wholly owned subsidiary of BAE Systems.Also look at SimulStrat, a spin off from KCL - they're very much in infancy however some of the guys there are big hitters.

EDS are big players in that old game my man, big players.
