Computer-assisted gaming

Computer-assisted gaming (CAG) and computer-assisted wargaming (CAWG) refer to games that are at least partially computerized, but where an important part of the action takes place in real life or on a miniature terrain rather than virtually. Game regulation can be fully computerized or partly managed by a human referee. Computer-assisted gaming seeks to combine the advantages of PC games with those of face-to-face games. In this format, computers are used primarily for recordkeeping and sometimes for resolving combat, while a human referee makes any decisions requiring judgment.
