The educational policy of the Hellenic Air Force Academy (HAFA) is designed to implement the standard of the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) officer. Our purpose is to specify and design a computer-based war game in order to use it as a tool for a) applying our educational policy; b) advancing the professional training of the students of the HAFA; c) assessing the behaviour of future officers in relation to the intended standard; d) understanding and resolving applied ethical questions. The game will also be used for professional informal continuing education in a distance learning environment, for promoting cooperative learning and the development of virtual communities of practice within HAF.
