Three Moves Ahead 517: An Interview with Lou Coatney
spacerumsfeld replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
Glad to hear you guys enjoyed it. I was a little hesitant to break it with the intro and commentary, but I think it came out ok. Next interview will be with Dana Lombardy of Streets of Stalingrad fame. Very interesting discussion we had (at least for me). -

I wrote the manual. It is free for download from the game's web page. http://www.illwinter.com/dom5/docs.html You can also get a printed version for the cost of printing/shipping. (neither I nor Illwinter make anything from it.) http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/bruce-geryk/dominions-5-color/paperback/product-24048340.html -

I would just point out that a “historical book club” is the $2,500 tier goal of the 3MA Patreon. (Not a self-promotion — I don’t get any of the Patreon money.) -

Episode 441: Rob & Bruce & WWI
spacerumsfeld replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
Hi Ted, Thanks for posting (and listening)! In my opinion, while the “retreat beyond the Rhine” strategy may become de-emphasized over time, it will always be relevant because (a) it exists (b) it became a major (and potentially decisive) line of play for at least the decade after the release of the game, and probably longer (c) the fact that it has possibly been surpassed at the elite level (which is a handful of players at most) does not mean it cannot be used effectively against non-elite players who may not be aware of it (d) Players who own previous versions of the game don’t have the changes In the end, the discussion is more about comparisons between games than any specific criticism of the “retreat behind the Rhine” strategy - in fact, as you say, it might even be a historical “feature” rather than a game flaw. But I think the fact that a game designed with such attention to historical detail ended up developing a major line of play that is completely coubterfactual is a significant point in discussions of WWI simulation gaming and cannot (and should not) be avoided. Again, thanks for your response! -Bruce -

Hi all, thanks for listening. And a big thanks to James again for his expertise. @Skyrider68, I talked with Lee Brimmicombe-Wood about Winger leader here: https://www.idlethumbs.net/3ma/episodes/wing-leader @ilitarist, I am sorry it still wasn't understandable to some people. What specific things were unclear? -

Note that there is a current version of Ironbottom Sound available right now, and it's a beautiful update of the original. http://stores.revolutiongames.us/iron-bottom-sound-iii/ It certainly would be interesting to have a group of designers talk as a panel - I'll look into it. I can tell you right now the biggest problem would likely be scheduling.

Norman Davies (author of Europe: A History and The Isles) wrote a great book called White Eagle, Red Star that was reprinted in 2003. Well worth picking up in paperback. -
Episode 375: Rule the Waves

The Rise of the Anglo-German Antagonism by Paul Kennedy is the definitive scholarly book on the subject. Dreadnought by Robert Massie is the best pop history. -
