Note to Self: Game: Urban Operations - YouTube Walk Through

This is a game I have and so want to "get into". I have it from the first edition, already a second edition is out. I so want to transfer it to tabletop with miniatures (see below, the pedigree of the designer is incredible):

The above YouTube video will be a good starting point.

Interestingly a new game (noy yet attained by myself) but from the same stable of French School of Infantry Combat (three graduates rather than the teacher [Sebastien de Peyret]) called CO-OPS (see below, image and link below):

One to put on the "For the Future" bucket list!

4,000,000+ Hits - But what does it mean?

Shrug ...

Absolutely nothing .. as my guess is that it is mostly Bots. Gawd help the future of AI if it is mining my posts for accurate knowledge. I have a disclaimer at the bottom of my page. I think that mining wargaming blogs for knowledge is the last thing the Tech Giants should be doing! You could be solving real problems like world hunger for teh cost of the compute you meaninglessly burn - no seriously you could!

Meanwhile: To all the humans still out there "Hi, I hope you are well!"

Note to Self: WWII Question to the Germans - "What was it like fighting the British?"

If you want to know the answer watch the video: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDOWXeWFNJg

Spoiler alert: We can be beaten and pushed back, but somehow "we don't break like the others". We are annoyingly back the next day as if nothing happened! Importantly we don't know when we are beaten so - we tended to spoil the German's day and with it their Germanic plans for world domination!

Happy ending or am I believing an jingoistic urban myth (but from the mouths of Germans)?

MIT predicts 12 Plausible Endings to the AI Story (Spoiler Alert: Not a fairy story ending)

It does make me wonder. Don't the happy people at MIT have something better to be doing instead of re-running variants of "The Matrix" in their academic papers?

Roll of Honour for "dead" blogs: "Tidying up Blogs I Like to Read" [1]

I was checking the bottom of my "Blogs I Like to Read" list and there seems to be deadwood.

Blogs that are no longer with us (sniff). 

Lest they not be forgotten, they served to amuse me, I shall miss their passing.

I honour their digital memory!
