Interested to know if there are any wargames out there (not classified obvs) that deal with this ‘left of bang’ get the nation ready for war type of scenario. Example being boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/8819… reuters.com/world/uk/pm-su…

Pleased that Take That Street made it to the USMC Museum gaming event yesterday - just being in the same space as Littoral Commander is praise enough.
Fancy a nice simple air wargame. Check out Phil Sabin's Counter Air a simulate blue strike onto a red airfield. youtu.be/55cTaIMQdX0?li… You can print and play or access the tabletop simulator files on our website: fightclubinternational.org/counter-air
Sobering and only too plausible. Contrary to the opening para, however, analysis within @DefenceHQ was done that recognised the emerging era. The really worrying conclusion is that systemic inertia suppressed novel thinking. And still does. wavellroom.com/2024/04/09/202…
Having started a thread about how good Memoir 44 is for intro gaming, what are peoples’ thoughts about what should change if there was a Memoir 2024 version. Try to preserve the core mechanics if you can. What are your top 3 suggestions… 💡

Circulating some advanced rule ideas for our readiness game. Let us know your thoughts on these. Remember though, it's a micro-game not an analytical policy seminar wargame...

🧵Investing in the next generation of potential #wargamers is a collective responsibility we all have. It's not perfect, and I don't claim to know everything but we all have something to offer back to our potential replacements. We all love Ender's Game, but we forget the most…
Week 3 begins with a brief overview of different #wargame structures. Exposing wargaming to a broader audience free of charge, hoping to ignite a spark in a future generation to carry the mantle. youtube.com/watch?v=1JVndp…
An early prototype design of "Violent Victory" -- a #wargame exploring the tension between battlefield imperatives to defeat the enemy and managing ever present civilians on the battlefield. I really like the way this design is shaping up. #wargaming
Among the most promising military applications of AI is staff work. Tons of routine products—intel summaries, orders, etc.—can be generated much faster by machine. Does this mean staffs will reverse the historic trend and begin to shrink? No: they’re about to explode in size.🧵
Today, we tested Horizons at @kclwargaming , a wargame which simulates the interactions between NATO, its backers and rivals in an increasingly troubled world marked by climate change, populism and uncertainty. The debates were quiet a thing and the facilitation outstanding!
With UK air defence a topic again. If we had unlimited money I think I would acquire 8 SAMP/T batteries to cover major military sites. Basically 3 for the RN and and 5 for the RAF.
Wargaming « We are coming Nineveh » @Nutspublishing with my officers. A discovery for most of them. Continuous training is one of my priorities as Battalion Commander. Thanks to @LandOpsBelDef for the loan of a game set! Next session with Littoral Commander from @SebastianBae.
I made handmade wood prototype counters for "Littoral Commander Baltic." They are perfect to playtest scenarios and fine tune the gameplay. Currently, I'm focused on getting feedback from regional subject matter experts and wargamers. #wargaming
I’ve only killed most of a forest prepping for King’s Wargaming Week tomorrow. Not pictured is the 5th game on hospital management, for which another tree will die.

For my Indo-Pacific Micro Games series, each designer researched & designed a unique educational micro game exploring a security challenge in the region. The games are quick, easy to learn, and print to play. 🧵SHARE & LIKE You can find the FREE PDF here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
Sometimes I wonder if all my sweat & blood poured into #wargaming is worth it -- if it is even moving the needle. But then I see Marines discovering wargaming through Littoral Commander. And tell myself to "row harder, lean in -- because it does matter, and there's more to do."
Started making a play-test map for this game: a strategic level modern warfare deck-builder. I used one of the US Army's Combatant Command maps as the basis for it and just added in some extra spaces. Very basic, but good enough for testing:
So I've been taking a look at a very cool game by @Fight_Club_Intl and @FarrenEdward, about the military concept of readiness. Basically, it's about cycling units through various stages of resting, recovering, upgrading and being shipped out to various missions. It's a wonderful…

The “you get paid for just doing your job” argument against the Wider Service Medal by those who on recent Ops got paid, additional Op Bonus’, extra leave & medals for doing our jobs, feels weak. I think those who bob about under the waves doing their job justify its issue alone.
2/2 Too many bosses are thinking about what they will say next, rather than hearing what is being said now." – Major-General Perry M. Smith, in his essay "Learning to Lead," Marine Corps Gazette, January 1997.
Yes! This is the way to do it. @marvingardns getting started on a new wargame design. @FarrenEdward take a look:
Crushed a few beers and scratched this up on a worksheet shared by @Clint_Davey1. I’m calling my new project simply Warpath: War in the Old Southwest.
Bn officers conducted urban ops planning and wargame PD today using a system (QUICK) designed by Brian Train and adapted for the Bn/Bde level. We had five games going at once so everyone was involved. 1/6 brtrain.wordpress.com/the-quick-page/
It’s always a particular moment for an unaccomplished game designer like me when you get the to retire your playtest counters (and map) and substitute them with the near-final art for the game! Ready for a full dress-rehearsal test! Thanks to @zweigefuhle and @snafustore !
We formally opened StratComs Southwick Park Wargaming center today. A thread on the past, present and future of professional wargaming.
