Reminder that if you want to join an amazing team of researchers theoretically and empirically looking at military operations (one of the very few places to actually do this kind of research in the world), here is your chance. Deadline on March 29th: jobs.ac.uk/job/DQU594/ass…

The ideal wargame in PME is for the staff one when they can just walk in and say anything that randomly crosses their mind.

"Your wargame should not simplify this very niche sustainment issue, it is very important!!!" Me: *add a rule where you have to throw one D6 and a tutorial on how to throw a die* Staff "Damn it is hard to adjudicate 🥺"

@SebastianBae Did you accept again a project for a new wargame three months ago and now you need to do it?

Let's talk #AI and #wargaming. There's a lot of hype around AI-enabled wargaming -- from adversary emulation to straight up designing games. I think there's a lot of value to be leveraged at a cost. But we need to be clear eyed in what AI is -- and what it can and cannot do. 🧵

My opinion on Matrix games is half of "that's really awesome" and the other half is "people who don't know shit about Wargaming use matrix games to pretend that they are doing a wargame". The latter is infuriating me more and more.

Glad to have been able to work on this piece with Ken. Uncovering and defining the 'strategic fingerprint' of each model was a lot of fun and is a fascinating area of research on its own. Currently doing the same work with the game of Diplomacy, coming out soon as well!

We wanted to see if LLMs could be strategic. 140,000 decisions in the iterated Prisoner's Dilemma later, we had an answer: They can. Arxiv paper below the fold:

Currently play-testing my newest wargame called "Open Battle". It's an education wargame to teach the very basics of military operations (to civilians). Wanna play as the Empire or the Coalition?

I have doubts… (and this is just a random sample, the book is full of visuals like this and fells like a longform PowerPoint presentation…)

MICRO GAME PLAYTESTERS NEEDED! I am leading a micro game design jam with designers from around the world. The theme is "warfighting" and we need some blind playtesting and feedback. Any help would be appreciated, instructions below. 🎲 🔗tinyurl.com/349yrswb

The good/bad part of thinking about wargames all day is that I was pretty confident in this conceptualization until I recently had a talk w/ @KovanJoshua about information flows between layers of the game space. Now I think this may be (visually) overly rigid, and needing tweaks.
