Good evening. You are listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zackney.

Joining me today, we have Three Moves Head founder, Troy Goodfellow.

Hello, everyone.

We also welcome back, our elite, irregular panelist, Dr. Bruce Garrick.

Well, hello, gamers.

Didn't feel quite right. I kind of miss our Eastern European friend

Yeah

Well

Unless that's how it goes

So today we have an interesting

Situation

Our latest Patreon topic poll

Was tied between two different themes

Underrepresented theaters

and campaigns in wargaming

Versus the representation of logistics in games.

So we had a bit of an email argument over which topic we'd rather do a show on.

Personally, you know, I think all our listeners know how I feel about logistics in my heart.

But before we dive into our discussion, I just want to posit something to you both, which is that I think in a lot of cases, when we're talking about interesting conflicts, interesting campaigns, stuff that doesn't get covered a lot, I think in a lot of those cases, we're probably also going to be partly discussing logistics. That's not true in every case, particularly I think with like, you know, coin-type situations where a lot of the constraints are trying to model are political.

But I think there's an awful lot of theaters and campaigns where a big part of what makes them interesting is the particular difficulties, like combatants faced in carrying out their operations.

Like, those are the obstacles that you have to deal with as a player in those situations.

In other words, I'm not sure those two topics are quite as different as they seem.
