Pournelle on “Does it matter if you call it a wargame?”

Spotlight Article Graphic

"Much of what the Department of Defense calls wargaming is not actually wargaming, and that matters." Rex Brynen, in PAXsims, taps in on a discussion by analyst and former officer Phil Pournelle on what passes for "wargaming" in the DOD. "Failing to wargame properly in advance may mean having to learn in actual combat and risk it all."

Mr. Hawkins laments his Colt's. Mr. Moses once again executes a perfect rhyme, relating this week and the prior in his prose! It is year end for my wife's business so I have been busy doing the books and as the temp has closed down a bit keeping the fire stoked! Sadly though, I am burning at a high rate and it is time to get the chainsaw out and restock! Go Buckeyes!
