British Army Fight Club Video: Jim Storr - Issues of Land Command

I found this You Tube talk very interesting, it was from the academic and former British Army officer Professor Jim Storr about the current state of (British) land command (see below, in part a review of issues in his current book, "Something Rotten" - link to You Tube):

The name (Storr) caught my attention as I am currently reading (or rather it is on the shelf about to be read - along with some others, ahem - my bad) his book about the 1980-1990 NATO-WARSAW Pact era, Battlegroup, "The Lessons of the Unfought Battles of the Cold War".  

Purchase Number 3: Book - Battlegroup! (Jim Storr)

Battlegroup! The Lessons of the Unfought Battles of the Cold War by Jim Storr.

This book seems to have created a little bit of a stir in the wargaming community associated with myself. Lots of people have went out and bought a copy and even read it cover-to-cover. I have gotten through the introduction (see below, a classic Cold War that never went Hot [thank god], but what could we have learned from it - as in the planning for it): 

Of interest his background research seems to be built around extensive (over 200 games over a couple of decades playing with his brother) play-testing of a set of  modern wargames - using in fact the WRG Moderns rules (1:1 scale).  This is a ruleset that I have seen, looked through (WWII and Modern version) but as of yet not played in anger at the table top. Watch this space I am hoping that will change soon!
