Wargaming Weekly

“Within this demanding fictional environment, our resources were stressed to the breaking point. It allowed us to identify key points of friction requiring immense effort and senior leader decisions.” - Lt. Col. Orrin Viner (Wisconsin Army National Guard)

Operation Gulf Shield will be utilizing a browser based interface for players to plan their operation without the need to own/operate/interface with the hyper detailed Command Modern Ops user interface. This is the sort of innovation we love to share in FCI.

"Making sensitive information releasable and shareable is one of the challenges complicating international training environments and global integration events like multi-combatant command exercises."

"While I could tell them the game will prompt them to consider logistics, my students would not understand it as well as they did through the wargame experience." information-professionals.org/educating-for-…

"In a China Integrated Course wargame from the last academic year, my Army War College students discovered that contested logistics proved essential to success. That realization only emerged through their deliberate action and reflection, not briefing slides."

"Last year, I wrote about Intelligence Rising: a war game in which former government officials played out a scenario depicting the arrival of advanced AI, to better understand how states and companies might respond. It was like Dungeons and Dragons, except for AI nerds."

"Every wargame that's been run in the unclassified setting says this is a nasty horrible war in which neither side is able to achieve victory in a short time and that both sides are going to have a very expensive, bloody conflict." youtu.be/jpKNlhh9u08?si…

"Wargaming methods and techniques shouldn't be treated as trade secrets. Publish more. Opposing ideas in a public setting is what will drive the advancement of knowledge in the field." - @ibarzashka in her webinar for the @GUWargaming youtu.be/J7Y3VjqG_3I?si…
