Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chamberlin's Coast Artillery Wargame (1916) was designed to train the coastal defence batteries of the United States in the procedures necessary to direct fire. It was a derivative of the better known Fred Jane Naval Wargame. The foreword is written by Al Nofi. The game was played over a large floor based model of a harbor. The players looked down on this area from cubicals at the back of the room. From there, they could practice identifying ships, locating the enemy and giving appropriate fire control orders. The book has notes on locations of fortifications, batteries, reserve ammunition and tactical use of searchlights. It gives an example of planning of an assault on coastal batteries and how they should be used in defence. One of the key considerations is knowing when to hold one's fire to avoid giving away batteries locations prior to the main attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coast Artillery War Game In many defenses the personnel have but little opportunity to see naval vessels and when they do so the men-of-war are seldom available for vessel tracking. Con sequently recourse must be had to such desultory commercial craft as may happen to be in the battle area during drill. Since such craft are at best few and are never in naval formation it may safely be said that no opportunity presents itself for practicing fire control under approximately service conditions. The Coast Artillery War Game offers a substitute for this difficulty, and permits of a fairly good fire-command drill or tactical exercise. It gives each commander an opportunity to immediately supervise the execution of his orders by his juniors, an opportunity which is not possible at artillery drill, since the individual officers and men are widely separated; and it also permits of tactical exercises, involving the use of the various elements of the defense. It does not afford a means of arriving at a definite decision as to the result of an engagement between ships and forts, and any such conclusions drawn from its Operations may be entirely erroneous. The methods of scoring gunfire, which have been adopted after many trials, are at the best only approximate and are probably susceptible of improvement. The game in its present state is largely due to the assistance and encouragement given by the present Chief of Coast Artillery, and to the assistance of many officers who have been identified with its development during the past four years. Among others should be mentioned Capt. Harry C. Barnes, Capt. A. H. Sunderland, Capt. James Totten, Capt. A. L. Rhodes, First Lieut. Robert Arthur, and First Lieut.
