Description

Carmonette (Combined ARms Computer MOdel) is an early Monte Carlo combat simulation used by the US military. It modelled combat scenarios for battalions and companies. Units can be ordered to move, prepare fire and fire. The simulation did not use a screen. The US military started using the software from 1956 onwards to study tank/anti-tank engagements and was followed up by multiple improved successors.
