The 17-pounder was a 3-inch gun mounted on a modified 25-pounder carriage, and proved to be a resounding success. It had the calibre and the muzzle velocity to deliver a penetrating shell at a range far greater than any other similar Allied weapon. Originally a towed weapon, it was soon put into self-propelled, armoured mountings as the Sherman Firefly - at last the Allies had a weapon that was reliable against the Tiger.

  • Class Wargames Class Class Wargames Ludic Ludic Subversion Against Spectacular Capitalism
    class wargames Class Wargames ludic Ludic subversion against spectacular capitalism subversion Why should radicals be interested in playing wargames? Surely the Left can have no interest in such militarist fantasies? Yet, Guy Debord – the leader of the Situationist International – placed such importance on his class invention of The Game of War that he described it as the most significant of against his accomplishments. wargames Intrigued by this claim, a multinational group of artists, activists and spectacular academics formed Class Wargames to investigate the political and strategic lessons that could be learnt from playing his ludic experiment. While the ideas of the Situationists continue to be highly influential in the development of subversive art and politics, relatively little attention has been paid to their strategic orientation. Determined to correct this deficiency, Class Wargames is committed to exploring how Debord used the capitalism metaphor of the Napoleonic battlefield to propagate a Situationist analysis of modern society. Inspired by his example, its members have also hacked other military simulations: H.G. Wells’ Little Wars; Chris Peers’ Reds versus Reds and Richard Borg’s Commands & Colors. Playing wargames is not a diversion from politics: it is the training ground of tomorrow’s cybernetic communist insurgents. Fusing together historical research on avant-garde artists, political revolutionaries and military theorists with narratives of five years of public performances, Class Wargames provides a strategic and tactical manual for overthrowing the economic, political and ideological hierarchies of early- 21st century neoliberal capitalism. The knowledge required to create a truly human civilisation is there to be discovered on the game board! richard ludic subversion against barbrook spectacular capitalism Minor Compositions An imprint of Autonomedia Front cover painting: Kimathi Donkor, Toussaint L’Ouverture at Bedourete (2004).

  • Meeting Triumph and Disaster by Paul Comben
    Meeting Triumph and Disaster by Paul Comben Meeting Triumph and Disaster The Gaming Ups and Downs of Famous Battles by Paul Comben 10-Sep-2015 In a roundabout sort of way, this article was inspired by something Mark Herman said at the beginning of one of his YouTube films. In the course of introducing an engaging dissertation on Empire of the Sun, he referred to a particularly close struggle that had only been decided on the last play of the game. I readily took the inference to be that the parties involved had really enjoyed the experience, and of course, we have all been there at some part in our hobby lives – a game that goes down to the last throw, the last move, and then concludes with us on the right side or the wrong side of the design’s victory evaluation. How we feel about that will probably vary quite a lot, depending on whether the game truly entertained and challenged us up to that point, and whether we feel the result is appropriate to the historical context of whatever we were playing. Things can go wrong – we might feel we were more pitted against the system than our actual opponent, or that in some other way the result has been far too contrived. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with winning (or losing) at the last gasp if the thresholds have been appropriately set, and if we are sensible enough to enjoy the experience of seeing our hopes and ambitions falter around a vista of sunk ships, dead leaders and routed whatevers.
