Board games. Hockey. Reticulating splines.
It will amplify the flaws and biases of its training data and its processing system. The first is scary. The second is terrifying. DoD wants to run on commercial source; we've all seen the conspiracy theories X can inject to Grok. the others are equally vulnerable to the whims of unaccountable few.

Some powerful writing in that (and also a good references list); thanks for amplifying

Wow, punching the units as they're needed.

What would this hire even do? The qualifications are "writer"; they've already stolen all the writing. More writing won't develop an electric soul or whatever magical transformation they need.

It'll be fun to read the weeping and gnashing of teeth over that last bit.

It's an experience; I love teaching it to teens. "You win by winning, or by being the only player not to lose". If you know the Calvinball line "the score is still Q to 12", it's that energy.

The best part of this game Notre Dame sitting home furious about how terrible it is while they lost to BOTH of these teams

Last Blitzkrieg is on my queue for Probably Next Big Game, but I've got Army Group North eating the table at the moment.

Martin's is fantastic. I have no witty wargaming tie-in.

Orders wrapped around cigars at Antietam is *not* chrome; the character of the battle isn't the same without it. "Last Blitzkrieg" has *anti-chrome*; instead of a one-off secret weak bridge or foreknowledge, Essig says "just use the dynamite rule like the others. Ahistorical but it works."

Chrome is the stuff that doesn't fit organically into the game system rules but gamers would scream if it weren't there - particularly for low-impact events. The Greif teams at Bulge.

I loved his Red Thunder

I found it oddly defensive of McClellan, assigning him a lot of credit for broad-strokes goals at odds with his performance in his army positions.

Highest paid! So much of UNC's mess was entirely stupidly predictable, but *highest paid*. God only knows what they're sniffing in addition to their own farts (please assign Samer to this beat)

Something I thought of later is that I have no idea if the new print has this error - I only bought All Good Things in this batch since I had the others
