I've known Ellie for years.  Curious what's in there.... 🤔

This is the part where I can't tell if the comment is humorous sarcasm...only because she seems to have had a pretty consistent theme in many of her podcast interviews and her other published work

I submit that this might be the most important professional wargaming book of 2020...maybe she'd come on Mentioned in Dispatches?

She's wicked smart and has some very specific ideas about how gaming can and should be used
