A new analytic approach is presented that models acute or subdued conflict situations (ranging from fierce combat to peaceful competition) by using nonlinear partial differential equations. One- and two-dimensional applications to conventional warfare are reported which replicate successfully both attrition and maneuver. The comparison between the analytic model and a wargame exercise yields excellent agreement and provides a strong validation basis for further developments and applications. 19 refs., 6 figs.
