Christopher Weuve is a professional wargame designer and naval analyst. Chris spent the first few years of the 21st century at the Center for Naval Analyses, where he alternated between designing and running wargames for research and education, and supporting the US Navy, where he was he reconstructed and analyzed 13 exercises (most of them at sea) in five years. (He thinks the Combat Information Center of an Arleigh Burke destroyer is the best example of a starship bridge he has yet seen.) He then spent five years on the research faculty of the US Naval War College, specializing in the use of wargaming as a research tool. An avid science fiction fan since before he was old enough to read, he spends his spare time reading science fiction and history, and pondering the differences between Real-World(tm) naval forces and combat and how similar subjects are represented in science fiction. He is also the moderator several science fiction and wargaming mailing lists, including the Science Fiction Wargames list (SFConsim-L) and the Naval Wargames List (NavWarGames). He’s also been a naval consultant for various SF authors, game designers, media outlets, and defense contractors.
