Podcasts about decision games

"Nunca tantos debieron tanto a tan pocos". Esta frase de Churchill define a la perfección la trascendencia que tuvo la victoria de la RAF sobre la Luftwaffe en los cielos de la Inglaterra de 1940. ¿Qué hubiera pasado si el desenlace hubiera sido otro? Que la operación León Marino se habría llevado a cabo y Hitler habría incluido a los díscolos británicos bajo el yugo del III Reich. RAF, The Battle of Britain 1940 en su última edición de Decision Games, es un juego solitario que permite recrear esta decisiva batalla. Para hablar del juego tendremos a dos de nuestros expertos aerotrastornados de cabecera, Rafa Palafox (quien también dirige este episodio) y Fernando Sola. Y para dar mayor lustre a este episodio y el hecho histórico que rememora, tendremos también a Eligio R. Montero analizando hasta el último detalle, tuerca, bujía y aspa de la película La Batalla de Inglaterra, otro clásico del cine bélico.

Querida nietada, Volvemos a los viejos juegos de los 80, con wargames, hexágonos y nostalgia. Hoy hablamos de la Batalla de Little Big Horn (sí la del 7º de Caballería) que los de nuestra generación llevamos incrustados en el cerebelo desde pequeños con tanta película y tal. No es de extrañar que cuando vimos el precioso juego Little Big Horn de International Team nos enamorara. Pues de ese y de uno más moderno, Custer's Final Campaign de Decision Games vamos a hablar hoy, además de ilustraros un poco sobre la batalla de Little Big Horn y un retrato del Teniente Coronel George Armstrong Custer. ¡Vamos con ello! Encontraréis fotos y más cosas en nuestro blog https://jugandoconlosabuelos.blogspot.com/2022/06/little-big-horn.html

Military leaders are faced with a dilemma unique among the professions. While doctors get to practice medicine, architects get to design buildings, and educators get to teach students on a daily basis, military professionals spend the vast majority of their careers preparing to do a job they rarely, and in some fortunate cases, never have to actually perform. This makes the education and training of military leaders that much more important. They need to be ready to perform at their peak from the first moment they are called to do so. Those they lead will pay the price for a lack of preparation. The services already do a lot to train their people to do their jobs. Almost everyone who has been in the military can, and often does, tell stories of their time spent in the field engaged in training exercises. Not to take anything away from these exercises, but most of them are only useful insofar as they train and refine procedures—they don’t actually test people’s ability to make difficult decisions based on imperfect information. Bruce Gudmundsson and Don Vandergriff, two leading military historians, talk about how using tactical decision games helps leaders develop the skills they need to deal with uncertain situations and prevail in combat.

M10 Tank Destroyer at Bastogne's Mardasson Memorial John Butterfield When it comes to this podcast, December means two things: a desire to replay the Bulge, and holiday busy-ness. It happens every year. This time, in 2016, I'm just as busy as ever, but the podcast commitment meant I pushed forward to play some Bulge games. Not as many as I would've liked, but enough for the episode. Besides, you've heard how the real focus of my podcasts nowadays are the interviews. I'm learning that the fast, one-month pace I'm keeping for these episodes always compresses my gaming time, but I can still get the podcast out on-time by relying on the interview. It's working. Knowing December would probably not allow me to visit a historic location, I also picked Bulge because it's a place I've visited previously. Back in 2012 I went on a father-son trip before my son went to college, and we visited Bastogne, spent the night in Luxembourg, went to a top Bulge museum, and even saw that cheesy movie. At the time I wasn't doing a wargame podcast, but I included a whole lot about that trip in my longstanding eurogame podcast. You might want to check that out, too. This time, though, I can still talk about another film or two, some light games I've played, and--most of all--feature an interview with designer John Butterfield. In our discussion I had a focus on his famous digital game from Shenandoah/Slitherine called Battle of the Bulge, the one that launched the Crisis in Command series. I've played a ton of it, and have enjoyed jumping back in again. Besides that title, John talks about the Bulge in general, his Enemy Action Ardennes game, and some other stories from his extensive history in the hobby. I know you'll like it. There are a few books I've read on this venerable topic, notably Antony Beevor's Ardennes 1944. Some of the best material I read came from Strategy & Tactics magazine, along with World at War. I learned about the Premium library subscription offered by Decision Games, which lets me access the entire library of SPI/Decision's magazines (no games). Wow! What a goldmine. Along with the article index, I can quickly find which issues contain articles on Bulge/Ardennes, and read those. Danny Parker's extensive articles from 1978 were fantastic.   Movies • The Battle of the Bulge (1965) • Band of Brothers (2001) episodes 6 and 7 focus on the Bulge • Everyman's War (2009) • Battleground (1949) • The Big Red One (1980) • A Midnight Clear (1992) • Saints and Soldiers (2003) Books • Ardennes 1944 by Antony Beevor     The steep review valleys of the Ardennes . . . and a display at Diekirch's National Museum of Military History Remember to follow along & chime in on my geeklist/discussion) for all of my Bulge explorations. If you're a wargamer on social media, follow me on Twitter (@WargamesToGo). Feedback is always welcome. -Mark P.S. If you want to get started on my next topic, it will be the Spanish Civil War.

Have you ever gone a boardgaming road trip? I expect quite a few people might drive a few hundred miles to go to a game convention, but I've never done that. Games Days on Saturdays are local for me, about the same hour's drive I do on my daily commute. Recently, though, my buddy Dave Arnott drove the two of us halfway up California to spend a weekend of games, food, and conversation with other gamer friends. That was different, and a complete blast! This is sort of like a session report show--remember when I did those? The podcast goes a little long, but that's because we were having fun talking about games on the drive back. That's right, we recorded the podcast about the road trip while we were still on the road trip. Vroom! We got to play a whole lot of great games: a few new ones and several more old favorites. Jeff Myers is working his way through Spiel des Jahres winners on his blog, [url=http://gameguythinks.com/mississippi-queen/]Gameguythinks[/url], so we made sure to play a couple more of those classic titles, [thing=256][/thing] and [thing=54][/thing]. Other old faves we played were [thing=1315][/thing], [thing=73][/thing], [thing=261][/thing] (1994!), and [thing=5306][/thing] (1962!). The newer ones were [thing=123260][/thing] and [thing=103185][/thing]. I'll cheat a little and include [thing=357][/thing], too, since there was a recent reprint. In between is [thing=40769][/thing], which seems to have slipped past people but is really pretty great. Has EnderWiggin does one of his awesome photo-reviews of Valdora? Seems right up his alley. Besides the boardgames, we get to tell a couple side stories. We stopped at a thrift store where I grabbed a few bargains (or not--you tell me). Another of Dave's hobbies is [url=http://www.letterboxing.org/]Letterboxing[/url], which is described as "an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming 'treasure hunt' style outdoor quest." Perfect for a road trip! We did that, and we also got to stop at the warehouse for wargame publisher Decision Games. I picked up a couple items in-person, but also had the fun of seeing what goes on at the publisher of Strategy & Tactics, as well as many good wargames.
