Simulations Publications Inc. (SPI) war ein US-amerikanischer Hersteller von Konfliktsimulations-Brettspielen. 1969 gründeten ambitionierte "Wargame"-Spieler in New York die Firma Simulations Publications. James F. Dunnigan übernahm die in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten geratene Zeitschrift „Strategy & Tactics“. Bis zu 30 Spiele pro Jahr wurden veröffentlicht, zumeist in „Strategy & Tactics“. Als weitere Magazine kamen „Moves Magazin“ und 1980 „Ares“ (SF-Spiele) hinzu.Die Firma pflegte zwei Spielserien: die „Simulation Series Games“ und die „S&T Series Games“. Neben anderen arbeitete der Spieleautor Philip E. Orbanes für den Verlag. Neben Rollenspielen waren überwiegend KoSims im Programm: Konfliktsimulationsspiele zu historischen oder fiktiven Schlachten oder Kriegen. Dabei werden Einheiten, viereckige Papp-Plättchen, auf einer Karte aus sechseckigen (Hex-)Feldern bewegt. Wenn sich gegnerische Einheiten begegnen, wird ein "Kampf" ausgetragen, dessen Ergebnis aus einer Schlachttabelle abgelesen wird. 1982 ging SPI bankrott, ihre Rechte wurden 1983 durch die Firma TSR (Tactical Studies Rules) übernommen. Viele Mitarbeiter gingen jedoch zu Avalon Hill und formten dort die Marke Victory Games. Der Markt für KoSims brach weiter ein und bald war auch TSR am Ende, die Rechte an vielen Spielen übernahm die Firma Decision Games. Für den deutschsprachigen Raum wurden SPI-Spiele von der 1977 in Düsseldorf gegründeten Firma Fantastic Shop vertrieben, darunter Panzerarmee Afrika, Normandy, Seelöwe und Borodino. Die englischsprachigen Originalspiele wurden mit maschinengeschriebenen und dann kopierten Übersetzungen ergänzt. (de) Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) was an American publisher of board wargames and related magazines, particularly its flagship Strategy & Tactics, in the 1970s and early 1980s. It produced an enormous number of games and introduced innovative practices, changing the course of the wargaming hobby in its bid to take control of the hobby away from then-dominant Avalon Hill. SPI ran out of cash in early 1982 when TSR called in a loan secured by SPI's assets. TSR began selling SPI's inventory in 1982, but later acquired the company's trademarks and copyrights in 1983 and continued a form of the operation until 1987.

(SPI) var en amerikansk konfliktspelstillverkare som var verksamt mellan 1969 och 1982. Grundare var speldesignern Jim Dunnigan. Företaget publicerade ett mycket stort antal konfliktspel och gav även ut tidskriften Strategy & Tactics. Många av de spel man gav ut under slutet av 1970-talet och början av 1980-talet fick mycket stor inverkan på hobbyn och under många år konkurrerade SPI med Avalon Hill om dominansen över konfliktspelsmarknaden. SPI försattes i konkurs 1982 och dess tillgångar togs över av TSR. TSR:s övertagande av SPI sågs av många som ett fientligt uppköp. På grund av detta gick några av medarbetarna på SPI gick över till Victory Games (ett dotterbolag till Avalon Hill). Under TSR:s förvaltarskap avtog SPI:s produktion för att slutligen upphöra helt.
