We imagined it to be Kursk, with hordes of Soviets holding off a massive German attack. What it was was eight players, a 15' table, and three hours of "Eisenhower" with Little Wars TV and the Armchair Dragoons left in an early 4-4 tie. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

That conf call for that meeting was a riot, too

Tech issues w/ cameras, so an impromptu RPG adventure broke out in the chat - mysterious hooded stranger dropped dead in a bar with a knife in his back and one of the 'players' got arrested for the murder while rifling his pockets for change

At the time, didn't "communicating" members include people/orgs that are now "inside the tent" like the creatives, and the media & events folks?

In the Fall of 2022, we experimented with a one-day "showcase" that was a full slate of presentations of professional wargames, and their design & execution

One of them covered Brian Trains "QUICK" urban wargame
