Yes, some wargames are directly inspired by or based on military sand table exercises. These exercises, traditionally used for military planning and training, involve creating a physical model of terrain and then simulating battles or other military operations on it.
Elaboration:

• Sand Table Exercises as Training Tools: Military sand table exercises are primarily used as training tools for officers and soldiers. They help visualize terrain, plan maneuvers, and develop decision-making skills in a controlled environment.
• Transition to Wargames: Some individuals, particularly those with military backgrounds, have adapted these sand table exercises into tabletop wargames. These games often involve replicating terrain on a table and using miniatures or other markers to represent units and forces.
• Key Elements of Sand Table Wargames: These games often involve:
• Terrain Modeling: Creating a physical representation of the battlefield using sand, materials, or pre-made terrain elements.
• Miniatures and Markers: Using miniatures or other markers to represent military units, vehicles, and other assets.
• Rules and Procedures: Applying specific rules and procedures to govern movement, combat, and other actions.
• Adjudication: Having a referee or umpire to resolve conflicts and determine outcomes based on the rules and the scenario.
