You all discussed an AI system called Athena(?) in regards to Academy Games. I couldn't find anything about this at Academy Games, nor other places. I'm curious to learn more about it, so where should I look?
In regards to
Flashpoint South China Sea (2022), Jason Carr has a nice explanation in the designer notes section about how he was inspired to create the solo system after attending a GMT Warehouse event when Mr. Buchanan demoed his game. According to Mr. Carr, he created the first iteration of the system that same evening after playing the demo.
Other possible topics would be random events in wargames. Brian Train loves 'em! I know others dislike them immensely. Maybe something to consider for a future podcast?
Great first episode!
