However, having grown up with the backdrop of Vietnam, Arab-Israeli conflicts, Angola, Cambodia, Falklands, Iran/Iraq and numerous other conflicts it is difficult to separate out my hobby interests from real life. The next few months I think will be very important so trying to understand what is going on can only be good.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />JayOld Trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866101372406631079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040961408491639069.post-87611845689776349142016-09-05T23:02:17.373+01:002016-09-05T23:02:17.373+01:00Absolutely agree: the hidden benefits of wargaming...Absolutely agree: the hidden benefits of wargaming for real world situations is very much overlooked. The very fact that the 'God's eye view' is in the back of your mind, almost leads you to look at the bigger picture in many real life scenarios (even in manufacturing lol), rather than just focus on the detail. We wargamers are a very much underutilised training resource :)<br /><br />And no issue here from gaming real world situations. Whatever period of history we game, the tragic effects of conflict end up with the same results, with some section of humanity. Whether modern or ancient, we pay tribute rather than glorify. <br /><br />Wargamers are probably best placed to understand the nature of what they are gaming, and its real world repercussions. That much is obvious from the writing on your blog mate.Duc de Gobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668407600014604176noreply@blogger.com
