Co-signing @ckunzelman.bsky.social saying @chasecarter.bsky.social has been working on this, and Charlie Hall was before the Polygon purge. GAMA for sure has been yelling, as have most publishers. Even TTRPG publishers are worried their books might get reclassified as games.

Designed by CNA, "LEXICON" is an in-the-box #wargame designed to help military staffs to explore & learn about capabilities in the #information and #influence environment. It is immensely valuable to get feedback from IO planners to help refine the game design. #wargaming

#ManeuverWarfare is finally hitting the streets! If you pre-ordered from @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social, copies are going out as we speak. And now that I’ve got my own official copy, I finally get the @sebastianbae.bsky.social card back that mysteriously wandered off at Modern Day Marine!

I love the idea of wargame design centered on China's perspective and decision space in a Taiwan contingency. So it's disappointing that they didn't discuss the design or execution more. Personally, I want to do a #wargame centered on TWN will to fight.

"Beyond tactical insights, the game created significant value by providing a stage for professional conversations. The game’s fast pace required direct non-hierarchical discussions, which created a favourable learning environment and fostered collaboration."

In July, my new laptop transformed into a paper weight. I lost the entire Andor prototype and 3 months of event card work and graphic assets on Penitent. Sometimes losing one's place gives perspective on a design project. Have you ever lost progress only to find a new direction with a design?

Heartfelt thanks to the Peruvian Naval Tactical Center for hosting three sessions of my "Littoral Commander: Indo-Pacific" #wargame. It was amazing to host young officers from various communities at the same gaming table -- spanning from special forces to submariners. 🎲 💥 #wargaming

Taiwan needs U.S. intervention if China uses military force in a blockade. Taiwan’s military could defeat a non-military effort by China, but it struggled against even a limited Chinese military effort.

What would happen if Russia invaded the Baltic region? "Littoral Commander: Baltic" is a new tabletop game that explores that question -- and shows how the modern kill chain works. My latest for Defense News.
