Three Moves Ahead 366:

Modern Warfare

Bruce is joined by game designer Mitch Land to talk about the Next War series of games and modern warfare. Modeling modern warfare is its own challenge as designers attempt to get the most accurate data possible and then abstract it to a playable game. Mitch talks about modeling and performance data, why aircraft carriers are important, and the processing of printing and publishing a game.

Thank heavens. The first 3 moves ahead episode in about a month that I have played for more than 10 minutes. OK its basically an episode of Bruce's Wild Weasel podcast but its interesting.So nice to have a games designer talking about his game.

Enjoyed the episode.  Any chance of some reference links to the books on the Falklands conflict that Mitch and Bruce were discussing?

Great episode, always a pleasure to here from Mitch.

 

Picked up Taiwan whilst listening.

 

I hope the any Falklands game uses Sharky Ward as its primary and authoritative source  :getmecoat .
