You know people are thinking hard when kinetic options are the last thing on the table.
I have an unpopular opinion that baffles me… why do we not have mortar and artillery rounds that are safe enough for live force on force training? I’m tired of those who reflexively say we cannot do that… b/c of risk. 1

The Panzer IV is often called "the workhorse of the Wehrmacht", @jagdfliegen noted to me, that this does not add up. So, I did some more number crunching: German tank production & deployment 1934/39-45, comparison with US & SU... the result is clear-cut. youtube.com/watch?v=waW1-U…

Good game yesterday for Women in War and International Politics on hospitals in a besieged city. Fun was had and deaths were not totally catastrophic! Minor tweaks + more reading to do as always but the core gameplay is good and I'm enthused with the triage meeple pull mechanic.
