Sebastian Bae@SebastianBae

Peter Perla, the pioneer of professional #wargaming, passed away last night. Peter indelibly shaped the wargaming profession - from writing the seminal book on wargaming to leading the field for decades. He will be terribly missed - both as a colleague, mentor, and friend.
