Let's play another session of "Arc of the Kaiser's Last Raider" (Joe Miranda, One Small Step, 2018).
It's a #solitaire narrative #rpg #wargame, but I invite you to take part via this thread! The player is "writing" a #pulpfiction novel series about a German raider during #WW1.

Needing to keep the readers engaged by a somewhat believable storyline of a daring captain and their crew, trying to change the course of the Great War in Europe. The story is driven forward by a randomized deck of cards, containing incidents, enemies and special abilities.
First choice to be made: the ship our crew will sail on into the Indian Ocean to disrupt the Entente's commerce and ... very secretly try to acquire objectives that could change the course of the war.
Comment, share or like a post in the thread to become part of the crew.

Everyone is talking about the @CSIS #Taiwan wargame. So let me share some thoughts as a #wargame designer and analyst on how to "interrogate" a wargame. Context is key. A thread 🧵. 1/x bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I will caveat everything that follows with the fact that I did not participate (due to conflicting schedules) and have not seen it played so I will only discuss what I have read in various articles and have heard from first person accounts. 2/x
In terms of design, there are promising signs to this wargame. The iterative approach, the expertise of players, and the fact it takes an unclassified approach to inform the public. All good signs. đź‘Ť I am looking forward to the final report to dive into the details. 3/x
Les subventions et le Jeu vidéo français
UN SPORT NATIONAL
(dont la moitié des arbitres sont également sur le terrain)
La façon dont le #jeuxvideo français est largement abreuvé de fond publics (subventions et crédits d'impôts 💸) mérite un peu d'attention.

Ces fonds sont le plus souvent distribués par une commission du #CNC.
La moitié de cette commission sont des personnes de l'industrie (mais uniquement des patron·nes ; les employé·es, les freelances ne doivent sans doute pas avoir assez d’esprit critique).

Petit #thread sur les jeux et l’art de la guerre ! ⬇️ ♟⚔️
Comme j’ai pu l’étudier dans ma @TheseDHistoire, les « nobles jeux » sont vus au XVIe puis surtout XVIIe siècle comme des jeux permettant de se préparer à la guerre en temps de paix.
Les premiers « nobles jeux » que j’ai retrouvé dans les sources sont des jeux guerriers, utilisant des armes comme la hache, la lance, l’épée, …
Let's take a look at @onusgame by @DracoIdeasEN. Basically a #miniatures #tabletop #wargame - but with cards instead of actual minies. #boardgames
I came across ONUS! after beeing introduced to BlĂĽcher which can also be played with unit cards. The low entry barrier is appealing!

Welcome to the ancient world. Today I'll try a random #PeloponnesianWar inspired battle solo, both armies with slightly over 1.000pts.
Athenians under Themistocles bring a strong left wing with some Thessalian Mercenary Cavalry, standard Hoplites covered by Peltast on the right.

While the Spartans under Agesilaus II bring lots of Helots, their superior Hoplites and a cavalry wing.
I've adjusted the random setup line into a formation that makes more sense to me.
Beware, it is my first session and I might very likely make some mistakes here and there.

Kicking off live tweeting the #Wargaming Lessons Learned panel, moderated by CNA's Jeremy Sepinsky, during day 1 of #ConnectionsConf
First panelist @elliebartels comments on the big factor right now posed by #COVID19 - the bar is very high for what would merit an in-person #wargame right now
.@elliebartels: need to think about what #wargame designs will work best for the virtual space right now, not everything will translate to our current limitations
Tired of pandemic baking? Looking for things to do while you pretend to pay attention in Zoom meetings? Here’s a reminder of #wargaming resources around the web. [1/6]
Visit PAXSims, the de facto front page for the #wargaming community. It’s run by @RexBrynen at McGill University and has the latest and greatest. Today’s post discusses actual research showing that miniatures wargamers are not anti-social misfits. [2/6]

Check out the King’s College London Wargaming Network (@kclwargaming) lectures on YouTube. Except for my lecture. Don’t watch that one. It’s embarrassing and my family says it was just too boring to hold their attention. [3/6]

When everyone is stuck at home, how do you #wargame? One option for distributed games is matrix games, a narrative-based format invented by U.S. social worker Chris Engle. [1/6]

In a matrix game, actors are played by players, who make arguments. On their turn, one player makes a credible argument why something will happen in the game. [2/6]
Other players then make arguments for why that wouldn’t happen, and the person moderating the game (control) determines the outcome. Ways to determine the outcome include voting, consensus, umpire, or die roll. Your choice. [3/6]
