Today we played some naval wargames with Jim Wallman, that was amazing! 6 pirates ships tried to attack a merchant ship protected by the Royal Navy. A battle at the age of the sail is ... confusing to say the least, and no, you can't just "make a line".

DSET Snapshots from Bristol! #DSET2023 #Wargaming #WargamingFestival

First day of DSET3 is coming to an end, but we are still here tomorrow! Come again to check out the games by Evan D'Alessandro, Baptiste Alloui-Cros, Thomas Danger and yours truly!

If only you had some water around to put it out...

Day 2 of DSET3 - Strand Simulations Group Minigames about Mali and Taiwan are waiting for you upstairs! #wargaming

Yes I'm not the same without glasses End of day 3 at #DSET

Finally a wargaming arena with enough spectator seats!

Well... That's the end of #DSET 2023. I will do a debrief of DSET later this week. Meanwhile, see you next year and keep playing games! (Oh no wait I can't, there is a full week of work I need to catch up with 😬)

You can now read the press release from King's College London about 'Wargaming Week'. kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-hos…

After several days of rest post-DSET, I'm back at work! Last night, started a new project... #SuwalkiGap #wargaming

Kilka obserwacji z jednego z najciekawszych spotkań wargamingowych. I konstatacja, że zasadniczo od strony metodologii tworzenia i prowadzenia różnego rodzaju gier wojennych wcale nie jesteśmy w tyle, brakuje tylko wypracowanej kultury ich wykorzystania. defence24.pl/polityka-obron…

Oh yeah, let's go!

Bariera językowa nie przeszkodziła Thomas Danger i nam wszystkim w Strand Simulations Group żeby być bardzo wdzięcznymi za wzmiankę (i zdjęcie na okładce artykułu!)

➡️ If you didn't read it yet, find out about Baptiste Alloui-Cros article published in the Strategy Mila magazine! He talks about the nature of war, and how AI may (not) affect our understanding of war.

The Strand Simulations Group will be at NATO WIN23 in Rome! Don't hesitate to talk to Thomas Danger during the event. act.nato.int/article/wargam…

Going to Connection US? That's the ideal moment to meet Evan D'Alessandro in person!

Who had "Russian Civil War led by Wagner" on their 2023 bingo card?

Life imitates art: I don't think even the best red-teamers in any games I participated in or hosted managed to do something equally surprising and unhinged

Has a megagame about "hypothetical" Russian Federation collapse become too insensitive now? I have a 20%-finished design based on some earlier theories how it could happen, and today got me wondering for some reason...

Next game of 2024 finished and available! Keep it Moving is a simple game on operational momentum and the factors that can affect it at brigade level. 1 page rules (+ 5 of design notes) and 10-15 minutes to play solo. The PDF can be download freely here: evandalessandro.com/keep-it-moving/
