• Goodies ;

What about the socials?

The first social event will be to allow delegates to get to know each other in a more informal and friendly setting than during the committees. On the agenda: "icebreakers" and various games around a drink and some snacks.

The second social event will focus on art and will take place in a significant cultural venue in Lyon. It will be organised in the form of a cocktail party.

The last social will be the gala closing the conference. It usually takes place in a singular place with a DJ who will make the participants dance until the end of the night. Get your best clothes out of the wardrobe!

What is wargame committee ?

A wargame is a board game where the delegate represent, alone or in teams, the generals of the armies involved. You have to put yourself in the place of a military leader who defines a strategy for his army, who coordinates with his allies (if he has any...), in short, the search for victory in the disposition of the troops.

Once the fighting has begun, it is necessary to adapt to the reality of the front: what tactics will be the best to achieve victory in battle? Breakthrough, outflanking or shelling your opponent from a distance? 
The resolutions of your choices, fights, questions will be the subject of dice rolls which allow the referees to decide if you are more or less successful in your action.

The Wargame is a war simulation, so beyond the battle and the war itself, you will have to take into account and organise your logistics, intelligence, supplies, conscription…

What is crisis committee ?

A crisis committee is a decision making body that has more power than a traditional committee.  Crisis committees produce action ! This means that the body has power unto itself that does not need to be granted by the obedience of its members. Groups that look like this include a cabinet, a royal court, a board of directors of a company, a rebel group, or really any small group which possesses political power.
