Podcasts about little war

A Game for Boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books. With an Appendix on Kriegspiel.  Miniature wargaming got its start with the publication in 1913 of this thoroughly entertaining little account of how H.G. Wells, with certain of his friends, took their childhood toys and turned play into acceptable middle-aged sport by subjecting the exercise to the civilizing influence of actual rules.  While wargaming progressed far past these beginnings, Wells observes how "little wars" with even his elementary rules can suggest the wholesale crudity of the real thing.  "You have only to play at Little Wars three or four times to realise just what a blundering thing Great War must be. Great War is at present, I am convinced, not only the most expensive game in the universe, but it is a game out of all proportion. Not only are the masses of men and material and suffering and inconvenience too monstrously big for reason, but--the available heads we have for it, are too small. That, I think, is the most pacific realisation conceivable, and Little War brings you to it as nothing else but Great War can do."  Wells leaves almost hanging the tantalizing concept that we might someday simulate war, as an instrument of international decision-making, rather than practice actual combat. But most of this book is just the fun of evicting the boys from the playroom and spending happy days there, away from the "skirt-swishers", developing the framework under which two gentlemen might meet and accumulate boastable victories!  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Did you know that American soldiers actually went to war in Russia in 1918? Listen to this discussion with Anna Reid, author of "A Nasty Little War; The West's Fight to Reverse the Russian Revolution" published by Basic Books. It is a tale of heroes and scoundrels that few in the West know about much less understand.  Check out Basic Books ...they have some very well written history books.     https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/imprint/basic-books/  

In the summer of 1918, hoping to somehow re engage the Russians in the First World War as the Allied offensive on the western front began, thousands of Allied troops began to land in ports in Russia's far north, far east, and far south. It was the beginning of one of the most ambitious military ventures of the twentieth century. Following the armistice with Germany, Allied forces in Russian not only remained, but expanded. Eventually 180,000 troops from fifteen different countries would participate. As either a means of bringing Russian into the war, or strangling the Bolshevik regime in its crib, the intervention was a failure, and quickly forgotten in those nations who had participated in it. But it was a long-cherished memory in the Soviet Union, it arguably stoked global turmoil for decades to come, and it remains firmly a part of the “pick-n'-mix, might-is-right narrative” of Vladimir Putin's Russia.  Anna Reid was the Kyiv correspondent for The Economist and The Daily Telegraph, from 1993 to 1995. She has written about Ukraine for Foreign Affairs, the Observer, and the Times Literary Supplement. Her books include The Shaman's Coat: A Native History of Siberia; Leningrad: The Epic Siege of World War II; and Borderland: A Journey Through the History of Ukraine. Her most recent book is A Nasty Little War: The Western Intervention into the Russian Civil War, which is the subject of our conversation today. For Further Investigation There are numerous podcasts in the Historically Thinking archive that relate to this one. You might begin with Episode 65: The First Year of the Russian Revolution, before moving on to Episode 193: The Plot to Bring Down the Soviet Revolution, which covers some of the same territory as this conversation. We talk a little about Siberia; you might also be interested in listening to Episode 212: The Perennial Russian Pivot to Asia

John J. Miller is joined by Anna Reid to discuss her new book, 'A Nasty Little War.'

In A Nasty Little War: The Western Fight to Reverse the Russian Revolution (Basic Books, 2024), award-winning reporter Anna Reid tells the extraordinary story of how the West tried to reverse the Russian Revolution. In the closing months of the First World War, Britain, America, France and Japan sent arms and 180,000 soldiers to Russia, with the aim of tipping the balance in her post-revolutionary Civil War. From Central Asia to the Arctic and from Poland to the Pacific, they joined anti-Bolshevik forces in trying to overthrow the new men in the Kremlin, in an astonishingly ambitious military adventure known as the Intervention. Fresh, in the case of the British, from the trenches, they found themselves in a mobile, multi-sided conflict as different as possible from the grim stasis of the Western Front. Criss-crossing the shattered Russian empire in trains, sleds and paddlesteamers, they bivouacked in snowbound cabins and Kirghiz yurts, torpedoed Red battleships from speedboats, improvised new currencies and the world's first air-dropped chemical weapons, got caught up in mass retreats and a typhus epidemic, organised several coups and at least one assassination. Taking tea with warlords and princesses, they also turned a blind eye to their Russian allies' numerous atrocities. Two years later they left again, filing glumly back onto their troopships as port after port fell to the Red Army. Later, American veterans compared the humiliation to Vietnam, and the politicians and generals responsible preferred to trivialise or forget. Drawing on previously unused diaries, letters and memoirs, A Nasty Little War brings an episode with echoes down the century since vividly to life. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tonight, on a very special episode of Star Trek Stories, we dive head long into the Vietnam War.

Buckle up as we jump into this troubled episode of Star Trek: The Original Series to see if we can find any insights into the infamous 20th century conflict. And if not, it'll at least be good for a few laughs. Episode discussion starts at 14:55. This episode 8/13 in our look at Classic Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Aaron Cole, & Marc Nielsen.

The disappearance of Old Man Blevins begins a spiral of violence, starting with the party searching for him having a deadly encounter with the Tewksburys.

The first episode of our brand new collection comes in with not a bang, but a whimper, as we learn either just how messed up the public view on Vietnam was at the time or how harsh the censorship around it happened to be. It's still funny, I swear! This is the first episode in Sully's Graveyard Smash Collection as chosen by and voted for by our Patrons! Join today to tell us what to watch!

Hey all! Kevin and Jon are discussing the controversial "A Private Little War." Captain Kirk makes the questionable choice to arm a group to even the balance of the war. This episode reflects the times and the Vietnam War. Synopsis: Kirk's reunion with an old friend on the planet Neural is overshadowed by a threat from the Klingons, which leaves the Captain contemplating a breach of Starfleet's standing order of non-intervention in order to help a beleaguered race. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

Little Wars by H. G. Wells audiobook. A Game for Boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books. With an Appendix on Kriegspiel Miniature war gaming got its start with the publication in 1913 of this thoroughly entertaining little account of how H.G. Wells, with certain of his friends, took their childhood toys and turned play into acceptable middle-aged sport by subjecting the exercise to the civilizing influence of actual rules. While wargaming progressed far past these beginnings, Wells observes how "little wars" with even his elementary rules can suggest the wholesale crudity of the real thing. "You have only to play at Little Wars three or four times to realise just what a blundering thing Great War must be. Great War is at present, I am convinced, not only the most expensive game in the universe, but it is a game out of all proportion. Not only are the masses of men and material and suffering and inconvenience too monstrously big for reason, but--the available heads we have for it, are too small. That, I think, is the most pacific realisation conceivable, and Little War brings you to it as nothing else but Great War can do." Wells leaves almost hanging the tantalizing concept that we might someday simulate war, as an instrument of international decision-making, rather than practice actual combat. But most of this book is just the fun of evicting the boys from the playroom and spending happy days there, away from the "skirt-swishers", developing the framework under which two gentlemen might meet and accumulate boastable victories!

Vicky thinks that the Klingons start a war with the federation but it surprised again

We have a special guest in this episode! Katrina joins us, she's a friend of the show, and spoiler, she got too drunk to trek. It's a first for Carrie and Sarah, but it was probably a statistical inevitability considering the premise that was chosen for the podcast. Trigger warnings include but are not limited to: violence against women, a poorly written strong female character, "evil" woman stereotype, drugging without consent, and vomit. 

During a routine expedition to a serene planet he once visited 13 year before, Captain Kirk is shocked to discover that a conflict has broken out between two formerly peaceful societies -- the hill people and the villagers. Making matters worse, the villagers are armed with flintlocks, weapons that are far beyond their current state of evolution, but have been furnished to them by the Klingons. That forces Kirk into making the difficult decision to interfere and arm the hill people with the exact same weapons in an effort to establish a balance of power. But first, he must convince their peaceful leader, Tyree, that this is the correct route, even though he is vehemently opposed to fighting of any kind. In what is perhaps the most controversial episode of "Star Trek," "A Private Little War" made history when it aired in 1968 for being the first dramatic television series to directly address U.S. foreign policy in Vietnam. But that's where its relevancy is just beginning, for it applies to proxy wars of all kinds that have been raging around the world for years -- and continue to do so to this very day. As a result, " A Private Little War" remains a brutal, powerful and provocative episode that offers no easy answers or happy endings, which, unfortunately, is precisely the point.

And so on April 24th 1898 the United States and Spain went to war over Cuba. There was no need for the U.S. to enact conscription as it would do in later wars, Spurred on by a belief that Spain had murdered Americans on the USS Maine, hundreds of thousands, maybe up to a million young men volunteered.    There were substantial American commercial interests in Cuba, mostly agricultural and in railways, totaling around one and a half billion dollars in today's money.

Book Vs Movie: “Logan's Run” The Cult Classic Novel & Film That Inspired Generations of SciFi Fans  Imagine living in a world where you can live as free as you please, but you have to allow yourself to be killed at 21 (or 30?) This dystopian tale comes from two science fiction authors, William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johson in 1976 with Logan's Run. Logan is a “Sandman” who chases “runners” who wish to escape their creepy fate.  The original story was inspired by the turbulent campus life in the 1960s and caught the imagination of SciFi fans everywhere. The setting is 2116, and from the “Little War,” it was decided that in order for earth to survive, the population needed to be kept artificially down. People live with a “palm flower” that changes color as they age. When they hit 21, it is called their ‘last day” and to report to “Sleepshop.” It is there they are killed using a pleasure-increasing toxic gas.  Logan being a Deep Sleep Operative, he can tell when people are trying to escape their fate and run to a free land called “Sanctuary.” He uses a gun called a “homer” because it can “home” their body heat and evaporate them. Sandmen also use martial arts and generally have no sympathy for runners.  Logan's love interest in “Jessica 6” distrusts him at first but eventually along with Logan's friend Francis they off to the Sanctuary. Francis, it turns out, is an oldster of 42 whose palm flower malfunctioned and he got by with plastic surgery to change his appearance Jessica and Logan are then sent off on a rocket outside of Mars to start their lives over.  The 1976 movie stars Michael York as Logan 5 and Jenny Agutter as Jessica 6. The movie changes the maximum age to 30 and this time the “last dayers” end their lives in a game called the “Carrousel” which causes them to evaporate in front of an audience.  In 2274, every person is implanted with a “life clock” that shows their age. Logan 5 and his friend Francis 7 are both Sandmen who one day kill a runner who had an “ankh” jewelry symbol. Turns out this symbol is for people who are looking for “Sanctuary” and that is how he identifies Jessica 6.  They go on the run together and there is quite a bit of wackiness with a robot named Box who wants to freeze and eat them, Washington DC mossed over and an old man with cats who wants to help them. There are also sexy costumes and special effects which were considered a big deal at the time. (Wow!)  So, between the original novel and the movie--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The journey of the 1967 story to the 1976 movie Biggest changes between book & movie The 1977 TV series that surprisingly did not take off The special effects of the time The cast: Michael York (Logan 5,) Jenny Agutter (Jessica 6,) Richard Jordan (Francis 7,) Roscoe Lee Browne (Box voice), Farrah Fawcett-Majors (Holly 13), and Peter Ustinov as the Old Man.  Clips used: Logan decides to run Logan's Run trailer “The Carousel”  Logan procures Jessica 6  Jessica and Logan meet “The Box” Music by Jerry Goldsmith Book Vs Movie is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.

A Private Little War was the nineteenth episode of Star Trek's second season to air, with two tribes on a planet forced to take up arms against one another by outside agitators. In this episode Gerry and Iain discussed the value of communal haircuts. Visiting a planet where he was once posted as a young Lieutenant, Kirk is surprised to see an old friend, Tyree (Michael Witney) and his wife Nona (Nancy Kovack) at the head of a tribe that has been isolated and hunted by their neighbours. Suspecting Klingon involvement, Kirk finds that village leader Apella (Arthur Bernard) is taking counsel from the Klingon Krell (Ned Romero). With this knowledge, he sets about redressing the balance of power. A Private Little War was directed by Marc Daniels, his eleventh of fourteen Star Trek episodes. The writer was Don Ingalls, the last of his two stories for the show. In this episode Gerry and Iain considered what war is good for. The discussion continues in the comments below and please keep in touch with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram where we're @trekpodcast. You can listen to the show here on the website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Pocket Casts, TuneIn, Stitcher, Google or wherever you find your podcasts. A Private Little War was released in 1968. It is 50 minutes long and originally aired on the NBC network. It can be viewed on CBS All Access in the United states, Netflix in the UK and is available on DVD and Blu Ray in other countries, including a comprehensive remastered set of all three seasons released by Paramount Home Entertainment.

Nerds Log, Stardate 032020.17: When the Enterprise checks in on a planet of people that are protected by the Prime Directive (no identification of self or mission; no interference with the social development of said planet; no references to space, other worlds, or advanced civilizations) they find that the Kingons had been there and violated this directive, providing a portion of the population with flintlock rifles when the entire planet should be at the bow-and-arrow stage. This gives Kirk a terrible choice: allow the other inhabitants of the planet to die, including an old friend of his from a previous visit, or violate the directive himself and arm them with similar weapons? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thenerdtrekpodcast/support

The collapse of the Ottoman Empire set off a mad scramble for territory. No one paid any attention to what the people who actually lived in the former empire actually wanted. But in the heart of Anatolia, one Turkish general was determined to preserve his homeland. In 1914, the Ottoman Empire stretched from the border of Europe all the way to the Arabian Peninsula, although the amount of control actually exerted by Istanbul diminished with distance from the capital. The Gallipoli Campaign was a British strategy to attack the Central Powers from the southeast. The first step was to conquer the Dardanelles, the waterway that connects the Mediterranean with the Black Sea. The British assumed the weakened Ottoman army would provide little resistance. But under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal, the Ottomans mounted a spirited defense and drove off the Allied troops. This is an image of ANZAC Cove, where Australian and New Zealand troops, who bore the brunt of the invasion attempt, were headquartered. Lieutenant Colonel Mustafa Kemal became a national hero and the savior of Gallipoli. The Arab Revolt was a British-backed campaign of Bedouin troops to overthrow the Ottomans. Through daring raids, railroad attacks, and desert marches, the Arabs forced the Ottomans out of territory from the Arabian Peninsula all the way to Syria. In the Mesopotamian Campaign, British troops conquered modern-day Iraq, marching into Baghdad in 1917. This photo depicts British units parading through the city. Note that many of them were Indian soldiers, likely Sikhs from Punjab. When Russia moved south through the Caucasus into Turkey, the Turks believed that Armenians were aiding them. In retribution, the Turks carried out a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing that killed, according to Armenian accounts, 1.5 million people. Photographed here are Armenian refugees at a Red Cross camp outside of Jerusalem. The Kurds live in a mountainous territory that overlaps the boundaries of today's Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. The Kurdish nationalist movement was in its infancy in 1919 and found it difficult to achieve international support for its aims. The British promised a lot of people a lot of things during the war, and most of those promises were incompatible. This map shows one proposed post-war configuration, with an independent Armenia and France in control of southern Turkey, northern Syria, and Lebanon. British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour issued a declaration in support of the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1917. This was a monumental step toward the eventual creation of the state of Israel--and prompted protests and riots among Palestinians. Prince Faisal, who expected to become King of Syria, invited himself to the Paris Peace Conference to plead his cause. Lawrence of Arabia, third from right, accompanied him as a translator and guide. They were very definitely not wanted. Faisal was later crowned King of the new Iraq. This is a rare photo of the ceremony. Notice that Faisal is surrounded by British military officers, a sight that would not have reassured Iraqis worried about the independence of their new country. Greek troops invaded Turkey in 1919, prompting a furious reaction. This is a photo of protests in Istanbul--notice Haghia Sophia in the background. Mustafa Kemal did more than protest. He headed to the Anatolian heartland with a core group of army officers and began organizing the Turkish War of Independence. His arrival in the city of Samsun on May 19, 1919 is a day of celebration in Turkey. This is an artist's depiction of Kemal's arrival. The Treaty of Sevres captured on paper the reality that Britain was attempting to establish on the ground. Notice the independent Armenia in the east and the French Mandate in Syria. Italians were granted a zone in southern Turkey and Greeks in the south and west. On paper, the Zone of the Straits was to be an international territory supervised by the League of Nations; on the ground, the Greeks were in charge. Kemal's troops steadily advanced on the Greeks, pushing hundreds of thousands of Greek refugees before them. Something like a million Greeks and Armenians were crowded into the Greek headquarter city of Smyrna when Kemal's forces arrived in September 1922. Fire broke out in the city and left it a devastated ruin; the number of casualties is unknown. The Treaty of Lausanne, signed in 1923, replaced the Treaty of Sevres. The borders defined in this treaty have generally held, although conflict in the region has never ceased. Please note that the links below to Amazon are affiliate links.

This week! We discuss SDCC news! And how excited we are for that PIcard show. We then pick up where we left off with A Private Little War and it's Recap! Is it sex or is it medicine? Blonde hair = good guy== Dark hair = Bad guy or gal. These aren't flint-lock rifles they are muskets! And Matt sings some Hamlton while Ken fills in some back informatin from the Federalist papers that and more in this extra wide double cab of an episode!

This week! Ken talks in depthly about the Vietnam allergory. I mean totally. It's a lot but all fascinating. Matt tells us Twiggy had a sitcom. Which then sets Ken off on a conversation about art and just being entertained by what you are watching. All this and so much more! And Look for Part 2 next week!

In this episode we play the mission "The Mutara Nebula". We had a bit too much to drink on this episode. It's like Kahless said, "Double the warnog equals half the battle readiness." We had a lot of fun with this one, but we got a little tanked. Clearly ours is not the superior intellect.

Truthfully, this is not our best work. We lost some files, but managed to piece it together with some of the game play recordings. The mission is "First Contact" which came with the 2nd giant Borg cube. This episode is a train wreck, not going to lie. It's kind of entertaining to listen to just how bad it is. If you listen to this one...sorry. You'll never have those 22 minutes back.

A recap of our video episode in which we talk about how we've changed the way we play, our integration of an full on RPG into our STAW games, and how it's really made the game more enjoyable for us. Just posting the audio for people who didn't want to stare at our ugly mugs for 25 minutes.

Once more we review and play through a Star Trek Attack Wing scenario. This time it's "Sacrifice Of Angels. It's a scaled back version of the battle in the Deep Space Nine episode of the same name. (DS9 Season 6 Episode 6)

A review/play through of the Star Trek Attack Wing scenario Long Live the Empire.
