The story behind the German Army's "Multi-Domain Brigade Operations" #wargame demonstrates why we need more accessible, unclassified professional wargames. A thread. 🧵 1/

Pendulum and Peace is now up on the FCI website for download (member access required). The game helps model why and how conflicts end, an often overlooked area of wargaming at large. How much do you demand/give away in order to stop the bloodshed?...

It's awesome to see that this project materialized after all the planning. Sad I couldn't join, but great to see the next generation of wargamers.

The #wargaming community is such a welcoming and supportive network and we need to grow it further, reach more audiences and establish the method.

When we started Wargaming Lab at ISM last September, one of the aims was to build and foster international collaboration with our Allies. I'm extremely happy that last week we saw the first German-Lithuanian wargaming summer school organized together with The German Wargaming Center.

Heute trat ein Team des #FCDE gg ein Team des #FCTUR in einem #Kriegsspiel an, das von @letsplayhistory.bsky.social geleitet wurde. Die Teilnehmer rangen mit Friktion & unvollständigen Informationen & lernten so über die Notwendigkeit von Lagebilder, Kommunikation & Risikomanagement. #C2 #wargaming

We've been busy wargaming a several courses of action as part of a TDG submission exercise. We're using the Canadian Army's Commander's Intent system on tabletop simulator as a Double Blind activity with players on 3 continents. Learn about the system here youtu.be/oiivX4uliu0

Spending time on the train.

After a weekend of protest in defence of pluralistic democracy, I am heading back to Hamburg for a week of #wargaming at the Command and Staff College. I am excited to support the first iteration of the Wargaming Basics module as guest lecturer and facilitator.

🏛️ How does combat impact cultural heritage, how to protect cultural heritage from targeting impact and malign exploitation, how is it weaponized by malign actors, what's its impact in psyops and info-ops?

It's all fun and games, until it isn't.
Played some Littoral Commander: The Baltic by @sebastianbae.bsky.social, today.

Messy vessel-pushing, cyber and psyops, missile showers, these scenarios had it all. #wargaming

🎲 In der #TFN haben wir 300: Earth & Water, ein schnelles card driven game über die Perserkriege, gespielt.

💡 Mit wenigen Komponenten und nur 13 Karten erzeugt das Spiel viel Spannung. Feldzüge müssen vorbereitet und Versorgung sichergestellt werden.

👊 #ThinkFightLearnRepeat #wargaming
