Vauban: An Analytical Skills Development Game about Louis XIV's Defender of France by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget
Level 1 -
Examine the Vauban fortifications described in Marshal Vauban and the Defence of Louis XIV's France by Paddy Griffith and Peter Dennis.
Think about how enemies would try to enter France without Vauban's forts.
Level 2 -
Vauban had to deal with war situations such as diseases soldiers could contract from killing diseased adversaries due to malfunctioning weapons resulting in hand-to-hand combat.
His solution to this dilemma was to create the bayonet, which also saved on precious bullets. This measure was taken to prevent the spread of disease among the troops and the civilian population, which provided food for the troops.
The tasks at this level are to:
-figure out general ways to avoid disease in a community
-look at your community using the ways to avoid disease and note down what is being done well
-note down what could cause disease to spread in your community, especially during a natural disaster
-with a group, work on projects to prevent the spread of disease
-list one item in a separate piece of paper and work on:
-possible solutions
-budgets for each solution
-action lists
-who will work on each action
-who will accomplish what by when by when
