A wargaming renaissance has been underway in the US military. Having proven to be the most effective recruitment tool of the 21st century, games have proliferated across all levels of the military's strategic, operational, training, and rehabilitation architecture. From board games to high-tech digital and virtual reality platforms, wargames enable milarites to learn lessons from the past, play out possible responses to current crises, and explore the effectiveness of future operations and strategies. From the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the Covid 19 pandemic, today wargames are a key means by which the US military--and many other militaries--make plans and fight wars. Politics of Play is the first academic book dedicated to the US military wargaming renaissance. Grounded in 100 hours of interviews undertaken by the author during fieldwork with US military wargamers, it explores how games intervene in players' cognitive and affective registers using immersion and the drive to win. In addition, Politics of Play develops a new theory of play grounded in the thought of Jacques Derrida which seeks to expose and disrupt the politics and power relations at work in the use of games to produce warfighters in the digital age.

Serious question, why call something Rebirth, if there is no rebirthing, where was the rebirthing? Yes I have a full review of Jurassic World Rebirth in todays drop. Plus more fallout from the Microsoft and Xbox layoffs, and who is to blame? Helldivers 2 is dropping on Xbox next month, and Nintendo ponders the future of game development. ScarJo is now the highest grossing lead actor ever, John M Chu is going to be racing into theaters as the director of Hot Wheels. Meanwhile James Gunn and Zack Snyder portal into Rick and Morty in the least suspecting way.

Jesse and Chris continue exploring the fusion of wargaming and role-playing with Warhammer 40k Crusade campaign ideas and a dive into Forbidden Psalm. They share narrative strategies, hobby enthusiasm, and lessons from chaotic skirmishes.

Hello everyone and welcome to the shows Diamond Jubilee. Todays guest is Ken Hanning. Ken has a wonderful wargaming shed (its a lot better than a shed !) which is named The Perthshire War Room. It is a wonderful spot and the envy of many when he shows the room off on his Big Wargames Website and YouTube Chanel. Ken has many links with the Leeds Wargaming Scene and it was lovely to chat about old friends some of which are no longer with us, the joys of Yorkshire and the Pie based food of the area. At the end of the show we try and tackle a difficult subject in a positive manner. Ken was diagnosed with Cancer some time ago and has gone through numerous rounds of treatment and surgery some of which only ended last week. Ken was keen to talk about how the hobby and people in it have been amazingly supportive. Other communities like the We Have Ways Podcast have also been key to Kens wellbeing and it was a joy to hear the positivity in his story. Thanks to Ken for being so open and honest. Kens Big Wargames Website is here Big Wargames The YouTube Channel is here https://youtube.com/@kenhanning57?si=KhP5Bf1Rf0i1U_eZ   Next episode will be the Brews in the Binyard Questions we missed at the end of episode 74 Until Next Time, Sithee

À la veille de la conférence de l'ONU sur l'Océan qui se tient au mois de juin 2025 à Nice sur les bords de la Méditerranée, nous nous penchons sur les questions de sûreté en mer et de militarisation de l'espace maritime. Témoin fragile de l'évolution du climat et de la biodiversité, la mer se présente chaque jour davantage comme un terrain de jeu stratégique, où se croisent intérêts économiques, ambitions politiques et rivalités militaires. La réalité démographique mondiale se traduit par l'augmentation permanente des besoins de la pêche de capture. Les fonds marins recèlent d'immenses quantités d'hydrocarbures et de ressources minérales inexploitées, notamment les terres rares, représentant des valeurs économiques considérables et convoitées. La mer est aussi un espace de transit : le transport maritime a explosé au cours de la dernière décennie. Enfin, 90 % des liaisons internet passent par environ 430 câbles sous-marins, lesquels sont aujourd'hui à 90 % aux mains des géants du ​​​​​​​numérique que sont les ​​​​​​​GAFA.Plus que jamais, la mer s'impose comme un théâtre prépondérant de la compétition mondiale. Entre infrastructures sous-marines perturbées par des actions hybrides, trafics maritimes illicites visant à contourner les sanctions, attaques de navires occidentaux par les missiles des ​​​​​​​Houthis le long des côtes de la mer Rouge, montée en puissance phénoménale de la Marine chinoise, présence accrue des sous-marins ​​​​​​​russes aux abords de l'Europe. Les espaces maritimes et océaniques sont de nouveau des territoires de conflictualité potentielle.Invités : Virginie Saliou, chercheuse à l'Institut de recherche stratégique de l'École militaire, titulaire de la chaire des mers, maritimités et maritimisations du monde de Sciences Po Rennes et enseignante à l'École navale Le commissaire général Thierry Duchesne, directeur du département maritime de la Fondation méditerranéenne d'études stratégiques Nicolas Mazzuchi, directeur Stratégie navale et Wargaming au Centre d'étude stratégique de la marine. Auteur de plusieurs ouvrages, dont le dernier La confrontation en mer. L'avenir de la stratégie navale, Éditions du Rocher.​​​​​​​

De tijd is helaas aangebroken: Tjeerd is terug voor zijn zwanenzang in Powerpraat. Deze aflevering staat volledig in het teken van zijn carrière bij PU, maar ook op andere hoogtepunten van PU en de Powerpraat zelf. Gelukkig hoeft hij dit niet alleen te doen: Martin, Florian en Samuel ondersteunen hem in deze dikke nostalgietrip van ruim twee uur. Naast het feit dat dit Tjeerds laatste Powerpraat is, is het ook gelijk de laatste Powerpraat ooit.

Join us as we rollout our newest research study, authored by the Mitchell Institute's Col. Mark A. Gunzinger, USAF (Ret.), Director of Future Concepts and Capability Assessments. The event will feature guest speaker Maj. Gen. Joseph D. Kunkel, Director of Force Design, Integration, and Wargaming, Deputy Chief of Staff for Air Force Futures. The U.S. Air Force is fielding a future counterair force that is sized and shaped to achieve the degree of air superiority required to defeat China in a Pacific conflict. The Air Force is developing collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) as part of that force to achieve its counterair mission requirements. This will require the Air Force and its industry partners to continue to mature technologies that are key to developing CCA that can operate in a highly collaborative fashion with other aircraft. CCA will act as force multipliers that complement—but do not replace—the service's F-22s, F-35s, and future F-47s. This collaborative combination will pose a diverse threat that is more difficult for adversaries to accurately characterize and counter in highly dynamic, time-compressed operational environments. For these advantages to be realized, they'll require adequate personnel, fuel, theater airlift, etc. Logistics are a key requirement to inform key performance parameters, including the mix of CCA the Air Force acquires and how they are employed. This report summarizes insights from the third in a series of Mitchell Institute exercises that explored the potential for CCA with autonomous technologies to perform as counterair force multipliers. Its recommendations are derived from the assessments of teams of Air Force and industry planners, operational experts, and technologists on potential CCA use cases and logistics required to generate CCA sorties during a major Pacific conflict.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the ninety-nineth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the LTC Westly “West” LaFitte, the Brigade Executive Officer Observer-Coach-Trainer for Brigade Command & Control on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are two other senior members of BC2, MAJ David Pfaltzgraff and MAJ Marc Howle. MAJ Pfaltzgraff is the BDE S-3 Operations OCT and MAJ Howle is the Senior Engineer / Protection OCT for BDE C2 (BDE HQ). This is part two of our two-part series on MDMP with the previous episode being episode ninety-one of ‘The Crucible.'   This episode focuses on the military decision-making process (MDMP) within the broader operations process and its critical role in enabling successful warfighting at scale. The discussion emphasizes that MDMP is often misunderstood or misapplied, particularly when staffs abbreviate or skip steps like course of action (COA) analysis and war-gaming. The speakers highlight that war-gaming is not simply a formality but an essential method for integrating all warfighting functions—fires, sustainment, intelligence, and protection—into a coherent plan that goes beyond maneuver. When war-gaming is skipped or rushed, staff outputs like execution matrices, decision support tools, and synchronization efforts suffer, creating confusion and inefficiencies during execution. One common friction point is the tendency to rely on directed COAs or key leader discussions as a shortcut, which introduces confirmation bias and bypasses vital coordination and risk analysis.   The episode identifies several best practices to improve MDMP execution. These include empowering a dedicated plans chief to drive the planning effort, enforcing the use of version-controlled fighting products during rehearsals, and requiring all warfighting functions to contribute to synchronization tools like the execution matrix. The team also stresses the importance of integrating current operations with planning efforts to maintain updated running estimates and preserve operational tempo. Another critical topic covered is the misapplication of the rapid decision and synchronization process (RDSP), which doctrine now clarifies must be used only for branches and sequels—not as a substitute for MDMP. Ultimately, success in time-constrained environments comes from repeated practice of full MDMP, adherence to doctrinal principles, and disciplined use of planning tools like the HOPE-SW timeline. The conversation closes with a strong reminder: mastering MDMP is not about perfection—it's about building cohesive teams that can plan, synchronize, and fight effectively under pressure.   Part of S01 “The Leader's Laboratory” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

No intellectually honest person can argue that we have allowed the United States of America to be put into a terrible, dangerous position. Hard times are coming. The question we address is what can each person do about that? We will talk about controlling those things that we can control. Knowing and understanding the Deadly Force Checklist could be the difference between victory and disaster if you are ever put into a position where you are required to use a firearm to defend your life. We examine the Case of the Tacqaria Robbery in Texas. The United States of America is a joke to the invaders who are infesting our nation. Witness the recent incident in New York City where 5 illegal invaders attacked two police officers. The criminals were released without bail and then they laughed and flipped off the news cameras.
