Cards instead of dice for everything.

Simply said: no. And I’ve got a good reason why: “no plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force” There is always the element of uncertainty. That’s why dice are so prominent.

And they are more suited to throw around. Also like Tim said:

one mans meat is another’s poison

There is no such thing as *the* perfect wargame because it’s a different beast in everybody’s mind. Scale, rules, time and setting… you name it
