Well, I think that what you and others do is a necessary task. I am not really into canceling anyone, I love wargaming and I’m ok with playing (occasionally) the bad guys. But I do think the hobby needs a fair amount of introspection and sensitivity if it’s to be a healthy thing to spend time on.

That is not to say that the author makes an apology of the killing of Native American families but rather takes a detached position that I cannot agree with. Anyway, this reminded me of @fredserval.bsky.social ‘s Homo Ludens fantastic panel on the Clean Wehrmacht Myth and wanted to share.

It just felt wrong to me to actually play genocide, even if that is realistic in historical terms. Especially disturbing was that I couldn’t see any actual criticism in the rules or in the design notes about the use of genocide as a tool to “pacify” the West.

I’m curious to know how you organize the process of playing cooperatively.

Such a good game.

Comprado! I de propina el de Estanislau Torres.

Lo buscare, gracias! El de Bande lo tengo. En el de Mezquida encontre un error sobre la situación de la XI brigada que pude contrastar en los archivos soviéticos y que dan la razón a Caubin.

Gracias! Uso el libro de Hernández Caubin (jefe de estado mayor de la 35D) y el de Mezquida y alguno más para los nacionales. Los escenarios que planteo inicialmente son sobre el asedio a Gandesa, con what ifs, porque el escenario histórico difícilmente da resultados distintos a los históricos…

Interesting. I also have it but yet to be played. It will come after I finish the Normandy mission of the main box.

I’m about to finish mission 2… some vets already.
