The chapter is based on our team's experience as active participants in a variety of wargames in player roles as well as from extensive support of wargaming environments with special simulation and artificial intelligence tools. It describes simulation and analytical support of wargaming. The proposed quantitative support of the team focused on statistical, optimization, computer simulation tools and also artificial intelligence techniques, based on probabilistic reasoning methods. The chapter presents a method of quantitative evaluation of the course of action based on stochastic model of the complex activities for the determined stage of wargame or real conflict. The modeling of complex activities (MCA) software package for (M)odeling (C)omplex (A)ctivities analyzer with many embedded tools, based on a network model. The proposed method of modeling and analyzing complex projects combines the advantages of two approaches known from the literature: influence networks with the causal strength logic method and the PERT method.
