Today is International Naval Wargames Day. Im workingbon my latest "big thing", an education and training game on Naval danage control :)

Eight simultaneous games of 'Take That Island' at yesterday's Maritime ISR conference. My brain was fried at the end!

I'm presenting on this at the MORS conference tomorrow

The subject of today's discussions :)

"Arts and crafts" is a key element of manual wargaming, and also quite enjoyable, especially when teaching skills to the younger generations :)

Presenting today at Connections 2024

Wargaming-based "requirement elucidation" via wargaming last night. One of our design teams is working on a carrier this year. Learning the fun way why placing your E2 close to the enemy's CAP with your own fighter a hundred Mike's away isn't a good thing 😀

Dr Nick Bradbeer in full flow, bringing carnage to the Baltic #Kingswargaming

This went down well :)

King of the Diesels :)

Getting ready for another week of naval.conferencing, and the Prof is in the chair :)

Seabed ops wargaming with my students and my "Cobalt Rocks" game. Many valuable learning points for them, and importantly they now appreciate what a Professorial deception plan looks like :)
