QUIT PUBLISHING COOL SHIT ON WEDNESDAYS 🤬

Doesn't **anyone** respect the sanctity of #TuesdayNewsday !?!??!

They already let "the computer" take over in 1988 & ended up shooting down an Iranian airliner

Who bears the responsibility for actions in a war if we 'outsource' the decision-making to the machines?

Do we still hold commanders responsible for everything their unit does/n't do?

One of the thing's I think is fascinating (having heard it come up at another point in discussion on LLM's) is the inability of LLM's to manage resources in wargames. Kind of minor but that it can't do a very basic thing any human could do (even poorly) probably has some interesting implications.

Mentioned In Dispatches S16 E1 – What is Wargaming Missing?

Kicking off the new season, our erstwhile co-hosts take a deep dive into the wide world of wargaming and discuss what they think the wargaming hobby is missing.

Approaching the Campaign in Barbarossa: Army Group North, 1941

The game sets absolute boundaries between Army Groups North & Center but does provide a few VP obj's off the direct Leningrad route that speak to wider coordination w/ AGC & the drive towards Moscow

We made it snow indoors and the Battle of Landsberg for "General d'Armee 2" rapidly proved sanguinary. Baggovut's brigade has faltered and is near collapse, but Russian grenadiers are on their way. All for #EylauWeek @toofatlardies.bsky.social @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

Saturday Night Fights ~ “Charlie Don’t Surf!”: “AIRCAV” (2) https://armchairdragoons.com/snf120625/

At least backers are going to get this one!

The people that backed the FF board game from @wallacedesigns.bsky.social are watching retail customers buy it from online stores while the Wallace keeps giving continual excuses about why they can't ship to Gamefound backers 🤷

It's Eylau Week (tm) and what better way to celebrate than the Battle of Landsberg for "General d'Armee 2". Look it up. The Landsberg part. @toofatlardies.bsky.social @armchairdragoons.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2XV...

For those just scrolling through and happened to see the headline: The Beaverton is a satire site, like The Onion 🤠

it's the WP platform, but this was just spam-bots finding out that we have comments open on our articles

No real harm other than the spam filter might catch more 'real' comments for a little while

First time in almost 2yrs that our article comment sections got a wave of spammers coming thru

Just whacked ~dozen comments held by the filter, mostly betting sites & online slots

If you're a 1st-time commenter on our articles tho, it might mean the spam filter flags you until we can approve it

you've got an 11-month head start on getting work to back off! 🤠

The finding would be fascinating, but you'd also need to account for the fact that the majority of the gatekeepers (ie, magazine/letters pages editors) were probably more interested in "do the readers want/need to see this letter?" or "can I use it to make a point?" than "who wrote it?"

excellent!

Alright - who was at SDHIST Online this weekend?

How'd it go?!

Savannah – Volume IV of the Battles of the American Revolution (BoAR) series

Savannah, published in 2005, marks a distinct departure from the relatively straightforward first three volumes of the series.

you'd need to ask @vonreisswitz.bsky.social

What did you play over the weekend? How'd it go? Got some photos you want to share?

AAR of last night's game of "Snorkers! (Good Oh!)"

AAR of the Kriegsspiel Scenario, Bemis Heights 1777

British plan was to offset a numerical disadv by luring the enemy into redoubts & strike them on the flanks forcing them to fight in two directions
American plan was to move in a coord way to use their superior force size
