  • Panzer Warrior
    Panzer Warrior Panzer Blitz/Panzer Leader Rules consolidation Consolidated by Fred Schwarz Incorporating Optional Rules by Byron Henderson, and some new rules by Fred Schwarz Developed by Byron Henderson and Keith Plymale V1.21 12-26-2016 Preface I have been playing PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader since the early 1970s. PanzerBlitz was the first wargame I owned and I have great nostalgic feel for the game. At times it has sat on my shelf un- played for long but I come back to it now and then. The game has an elegant simplicity and is very good game of positioning and maneuver. But I have always been bothered that nuanced differences exist between PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader; and I don’t like having to make the mental leap each time I change games. Also I have never really liked the lack of Indirect Fire ability in PB but don’t like the lethality and record keeping of those rules in PL. So I set about consolidating the two rule books into one, while integrating many of the excellent rule changes done by Mr. Byron Henderson. For a more detailed look at how I set about doing this consolidation and why I made certain decisions, please read the Consolidator’s notes at the end of the rules. This is my first endeavor at doing such a rules consolidation. I hope I have been successful. I ask the gaming community to take some time to play with these rules as written and to provide feedback to me. At some time down the road, I will take another look and see if your thoughts and suggestions should be incorporated.

  • Clash of Steel a Closer Look at WWII Grand Strategy Simulation
    Clash of Steel A Closer Look at WWII Grand Strategy Simulation Table of Contents Introduction Third Reich vs COS Ground Units Where's the Front? Getting Cutoff Strength, Morale, Efficiency, & Supply Air Units Naval Units Action Points Troop Quality (Efficiency) Ground Combat Weather Supply Railroads Mechanized Infantry Conquering Countries and Victory Points Economies Strategic Bombing Research Politics Grand Strategy Equations Combat Tables Versions Rule Book COS II Why Did I Write This? Introduction The designer of a wargame is confronted with two conflicting goals. One goal is to design a game that is fun to play. The other is to design a game which is reasonably accurate. A little too much of the former and one builds a “beer and pretzels” game; fast and fun at the expensive of realism. A design based on the later often finds its way into the “monster” game hall of fame; big and slow with lots of stats. It is indeed rare when a design emerges which nicely balances the two extremes. The end result is a game which is relatively fast and fun while also embodying solid realistic modeling. SSI's Clash of Steel (COS) is one such game. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some well-designed features of COS. On the surface, COS is a very simple and straight-forward game. However, under the surface one will find a magnificently designed and well thought-out model of WWII grand strategy. It is easy to confuse simplicity with a lack of realism. On the other hand, it is also easy to confuse complexity with accuracy.

  • War at Sea: Nineteenth-Century Laws for Twenty-First
    International Review of the Red Cross (2016), 98 (2), 419–447. War and security at sea doi:10.1017/S1816383117000418 War at sea: Nineteenth-century laws for twenty-first- century wars? Steven Haines* Steven Haines is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Greenwich and a retired British naval commander. He chaired the Editorial Board of the UK’s official Manual of the Law of Armed Conflict (2004) and co-authored its chapter on “Maritime Warfare”. He had previously written the Royal Navy’s maritime strategic doctrine (British Maritime Doctrine, 1999). Abstract While most law on the conduct of hostilities has been heavily scrutinized in recent years, the law dealing with armed conflict at sea has been largely ignored. This is not surprising. There have been few naval conflicts since 1945, and those that have occurred have been limited in scale; none has involved combat between major maritime powers. Nevertheless, navies have tripled in number since then, and today there are growing tensions between significant naval powers. There is a risk of conflict at sea. Conditions have changed since 1945, but the law has not developed in that time. Elements of it, especially that regulating economic warfare at sea, seem outdated and it is not clear that the law is well placed to regulate so- called “hybrid” warfare at sea. It seems timely to review the law, to confirm that which is appropriate and to develop that which is not. Perhaps a new edition of the San Remo Manual would be timely. Keywords: naval warfare, conduct of hostilities at sea, sea control, economic warfare, power projection, maritime hybrid warfare, San Remo Manual.

It discusses some basic fundamentals and the Navy’s three major operational activities: peacetime engagement, crisis response, and wartime combat. It concludes with a general discussion of U.S. naval forces. It was originally written as a contribution to an international conference on maritime strategy and security, and originally published as a chapter in a Routledge handbook in 2015. The author is a longtime contributor to, advisor on, and observer of US Navy strategy and policy, and the paper represents his personal but well-informed views. The paper was written while the Navy (and Marine Corps and Coast Guard) were revising their tri- service strategy document A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, finally signed and published in March 2015, and includes suggestions made by the author to the drafters during that time.

  • Gathering of Card Players and Subcultural Expression
    THE MAGIC OF COMMUNITY: GATHERING OF CARD PLAYERS AND SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION Travis J.

It paved the way for the trading card game subculture and market that exists today. This thesis explores the implications of this subculture and the ways it can be thought of as an urban leisure subculture. This thesis also discusses Magic’s unique community, which has been instrumental in the game’s success over the last two decades. Magic’s community is created symbiotically, through official support by Wizards of the Coast, and the parent company Hasbro, as well as the usage and interaction by the fans and players. It is this interaction that creates a unique community for Magic, which leads to the game’s global popularity, including its tremendous growth since 2010. This thesis looks at trade publications, articles written about Magic, player responses collected through online surveys, and other works to create an extensive work on Magic and its community.
