Wargaming's history goes back to the "Kriegsspiel" invented by Prussian Lieutenant Georg Leopold von Reiswitz in 1812, but "World of Tanks," "World of Warships," "World of Warplanes" Wargaming, which produces free-to-play military MMOs such as "World of Tanks," "World of Warships," and "World of Warplanes," has a slightly shorter history.
