Another great #WargameWednesday.
Nothing beats getting the team together to test mechanics, challenge assumptions, refine ideas, and make the game better. Iteration is where the magic happens.

Iβm putting on a Tactical Decision Game contest starting 8 June.
One prize pack will go to the strongest submission. Another will be randomly drawn from all participants.
Head over to @RCRBuck on Instagram for the details, prize reveals, and the scenario.

Another awesome #WargameWednesday prepping for ALPS.
The closer the course gets, the more every game reinforces how complex LSCO really is. Synchronization, sustainment, tempo, uncertainty, friction. Looking fwd to helping build leaders who can think and operate at that level.

Belgium knows how to do it!
This week, officers of the 51 CSOC explored a wide range of wargaming formats, from tactical to logistical, company to corps level and from professional to playful. The goal ? Bring continued education theory to life through hands-on serious games.

The fitness the Army needs in its soldiers isn't just physical. It has mental, nutrition, and sleep components, too. Get it right and the Army has a fit force prepared for the challenges of the modern battlefield. mwi.westpoint.edu/building-tβ¦

As both the US and Israel expend hundreds of precision weapons-- from JDAMs to Tomahawks to Patriots--it is time to start focusing on logistics.Β How deep are the stockpiles?Β In wars, the true professionals are ultimately the logisticians.
