Confrontation Analysis: Uses for Historical Gaming

[Whirlwind]

I have just been reading The Confrontation Analysis Handbook https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confrontation-Analysis-Handbook-Confrontations-Eliminating/dp/0244913870/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507916138&sr=8-1&keywords=confrontation+analysis and very interesting it was too.  However, because it is a professional wargaming tool, all the examples associated with it seem to be near contemporary.  I was wondering if anyone knew of any uses of it for historical analysis?  Some subjects would seem to be ideal for this kind of thing: Napoleon in 1815 (and 1802,,1805, 1808, 1809, 1812, 1813 and 1814 for that matter!), 1919-1939, some parts of the Wars of the Roses and so on.

When Mike was developing the system I dimly recall it being used for some historical situations. But yes, given the nature of his job, the book is mainly aimed at gaming the present.
