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.

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?

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.
