- With the Operational Wargaming System (Barrick), DIGICAT (NIWC PAC/MCU), and my own Littoral Commander series -- the US Marine Corps is leading the way with educational #wargaming. www.businessinsider.com/us-military-...

- I hope you are enjoying the game 😁
- For the US Naval War College's Stockton Center Law of Naval Warfare Academy, international participants explore naval law through CNA designed Decision Forcing Cases. Participants explore how their decisions in specific situations intersect with the law of naval conflict. #wargaming 🎲💥

- >The year is 1124 >>Milan has foolishly declared war on me (neither holy nor Roman nor empire) >>>Battlefields are now battlefields
- I endorse this message 😆
- I received this amazing Philippine Marine Corps frosted beer mug from fellow Marines from the Philippine Marine Corps Force Development Center.🍺 They're in the process of fostering #wargaming across echelons. It's really impressive what they achieved in a short time.

- I'm glad you think so! That was the hope. I am really happy with the trifold player aid and how it turned out and I mainly use it to teach the game

- Yeah not exactly what you want and I do think it is important. And the small details matter and it is a very niche expertise

- So it is abstracted but players have to set up ECCs, coordinate aircraft or sealift, etc.
- Not exactly what you're looking for but three of my grad students designed a game for SECNAV Office on NEO in JPN during a Taiwan contingency. It asked how do we conduct a NEO in a peer conflict and how do we both win the war and also do NEO? JPN, US, and PRC are players
- The game focuses on getting civilians, Americans and Japanese, out of danger areas. But at the same time you can't let Taiwan fall. It's a good game and has a lot of promise.

- I am very grateful and they are so much fun to work with and engage with
- Vietnam: "Count our inflated body count, we are winning!" GWOT: "Count our patrols, we are winning!" Red Sea: "Count our bombs dropped, we are winning!" Performance =/= effectiveness. We teach this at PME but refuse to accept it.

- Excited to be attending the 7th Cushing International Law Conference -- focused on the security of the sea. The conference in Manila is hosted by the University of the Philippines & the US Naval War College, and several regional partnering institutions.
- And if you're wondering what a game designer is doing here... I am asking myself that too 😂 but seriously, it is always a joy to engage with regional allies and partners.
