The Modern World / Fast Carriers 1941-1977
« Last post by bayonetbrant on April 10, 2024, 04:52:03 PM »Rocky digs into a unique naval wargaming experience from SPI's classic 1970s days
Revolutionary Risk with The Fast Carriers: Air-Sea Operations, 1941-77
In The Fast Carriers Dunnigan ambitiously gives players three levels of responsibility in a game design that, admittedly, has both reasoned abstractions and flaws in some game models. While the rules and interaction of game subsystems are perhaps not as streamlined as they could be, The Fast Carriers nonetheless offers fascinating insights into designer intent—and execution—of an exploration of a revolution in warfare using a “paper time-machine.”

Age of Gunpowder / Bawb....
« Last post by JudgeDredd on April 10, 2024, 02:39:50 AM »8 pages of rules for a Gettysburg game? It's either shite or - nice and simply and "a game" as opposed to a learning experience.
Given the problems I had with Longstreet Attacks initially, this might be a breath of fresh air.
It's on my wishlist though

Not sure if this will interest. There will be a Zoom presentation on very early towed array sonars (1972) as used in the Mediterranean.
Information is available at the above website.
