"Who should I be following if I want to learn more about professional #wargaming?"

Lots of excellent #wargamers are not on social media, but I want to highlight some folks. I think it is important to spotlight great #wargamers. Not an exhaustive list & more in the future. 🧵 Image For urban #wargaming, @Stu_Lyle is doing amazing work to represent the complexity, scale, and 3D dimensional threats of urban wargaming. I also have to mention @UrbanWargamer who I keenly follow for his AR experimentation & urban warfare scholarship. 2/ Image

This thread from @benmoores2 on #wargaming is worth reading. I encourage folks to resist the urge to be like, "But wait, my X game does that it doesn't do that!" Are there exceptions or caveats? Absolutely. But the point is that the #wargaming field can do more and should. 🧵 Representing political considerations in real life within wargames is difficult in professional wargames. Not because they are impossible -- but because they can be seen as partisan. This often incentivizes wargames to lop off HARD thorny political decisions. 2/

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

An fascinating piece by @BarrickTim and @TheKrulakCenter on their continuing series of Ukraine #wargames. Highlights potential challenges like dwindling PGMs, ever increasing attrition, and escalation risks. 1/x
mwi.usma.edu/wargaming-a-lo… The authors are careful (and responsible) to stress that this does NOT PREDICT the war -- but gives an opportunity to explore what MAY happen to inform present discourses. Games can highlight unexpected surprises and explore branches of decisions. 2/x
