The Art of WargamingEpisode 120: Offensive VariationsIn the time in which Clausewitz wrote "On War", going on the offensive involved no small amount of risk. Between the rise of dominance in the field of artillery and new and brutal ways of preparing a killing field, going on the attack meant being vulnerable to all matter of calamity. As a result, his analysis of offensive variations stresses the need for boldness and prudence in equal measure. There are many reasons to mount an attack, from the wholesale destruction of our opponents to the acquisition of secondary objectives, each of them having their own hazards and considerations...

2024-02-0726 minThe Art of WargamingEpisode 104: The Military Maxims of Napoleon (85-92)When we look at leadership, it is easy to see that there are many functions that require their own sort of leader. A general of engineering is expected to have vastly different qualities than a general of the cavalry. Often when we study military science we do so from the perspective of the General of the Army, but this same general trusts in the competence of the officers who are placed in these more specific functions, because even the most competent of commanders need to delegate. Malark seeks insight on this topic within the next set of Napoleonic Maxims.

Now, finally, we begin to delve into the crux of the matter.

The influence of technology on this concept cannot be overstated. Along these lines, a keen observation is required of one's opponent, as they are not a dummy or target practice but a real thinking and ambitious creature with which we...

If that all sounds dumb to you, it is. If that all sounds amazing to you, it's also that. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's crossover Dark Nights: Metal is a bombastic celebration of the weirdness of multiverses. So Your Generals strap in to be this week's Dork Knights and shine a light on this crazy event and it's star players. Also with news from Green Hornet...

As neither one of us can master the four elements though, we thought it best to recruit some help in tackling this. Enter Griz. Together with General Zac, he came up with a finely curated list of episodes to focus in on as we talk about the Gaang. 'The Boy in the Iceberg', 'The Avatar Returns' , 'The Cave of Two Lovers', 'The Blind Bandit', 'The Headband', and 'Sokka's Master' all...

2020-07-2702 minGeneral Nerdery#033: Your Obedient Servants: The Generals watch HamiltonWe don't claim to be the models of some novel-taking Generals, after all, Hamilton was already one of the biggest things to hit in the last few years even before it came to streaming. So despite all that's already been said about it we figured it was time to indulge in our love of musicals now that a new audience is coming around (including a General!), So this week we gush about Lin-Manuel Miranda, Zac learns the Ten Crack Commandments, and let out a bit of our history nerdishness all thanks to this amazing Broadway hit. Also with news...

That may been an extreme example, but it's also one that comes up far too often, So how should someone handle it when they like something by somebody problematic? Your Generals knew they didn't know. So this week Zac and Tyler both thank and welcome Will and Áine as they come on and help delve into this tricky topic. They turn out to be just the right guests to make the conversation fun as it twists and turns t...
2020-07-132h 16General Nerdery#031: Lore-full KombatMortal Kombat, the ultraviolent, tongue-in-cheek fighting game has been around almost 30 years, keeping our screens obscenely bloody. However, even a game where a guy with a gun can beat up an Elder God with his fists has a story. General Tyler happens to know that story, and now it's time to share it with all of you! Also with news from Warhammer 40k, Pirates of the Caribbean and more!

General Nerdery#030: Threat Level MidnighterThis week the Generals bring a more emotionally charged episode than normal. What was supposed to be a celebration of Midnighter to close out Pride month overlaps with some of the news and leaves General Zac with many feels. That being said. Midnighter is one of the more premier gay superheroes, and is far more to us than simply being angry gay-Batman. So we settle in and talk about this killing machine's emotional journey in Steve Orlando's run, and experience one of our own. Also with news form Guinness World Records, and Warren Ellis.

General Nerdery#029: Tear Apart the Sky: Our Look at Fast ColorSuperheroes come in all shapes, sizes, colors and creeds. As 2020 rages on, your Generals feel like this needs reestablished a bit at times. Luckily they watched a movie that reaffirms it many times over. Fast Color is the story of 3 generations of black women with super powers, and how they can change the world. Unfortunately it seems that word didn't get out too much about this beautiful film. So go watch it come back and then inside we give our most 2020 read of this movie as we can find words for and leave feeling encouraged. We hope this film...

The Art of WargamingEpisode 27: Talents, Ruses, and StratagemsEvery successful general in history knows the art of presentation. Your teammates look to you for not only a plan of battle, but also for their morale center and personal guidance.

For when the time comes, a cool head prevails in the thick of combat, and only one lucid in mind can think of the ideal plan required to win the day. Join us this week as we look at the talents required of a general and the ruses and stratagems...
2020-06-221h 49General Nerdery#028: Quarantine Tarantin-off (w/ Eustacia)Some revere him as one of the greatest directors of the modern era. Others...not so much. Today we have both sides of the impact of Quentin Tarantino's represented. With General Zac out getting married, friend of the show Eustacia comes back with a love of film and a dislike of Tarantino. General Tyler has a tattoo inspired by the poster for Django Unchained. They watched Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill vol. 1, and Django Unchained to prepare. Both come into this show with love in their hearts, but, like a Tarantino movie...
2020-06-152h 00General Nerdery#027: D'oh or Donut? The Simpsons MovieOnce upon a time, there was a cartoon that became one of the most massive things on Earth. That cartoon was The Simpsons. With that sort of popularity it was inevitable that they eventually got a movie, and inconceivable that your Generals could have grown up without feeling it's touch. However, upon debriefing our watching experience, it became clear that in this instance our experiences differ greatly. So what do your Generals think of The Simpsons, The Simpsons Movie, and the place of The Simpsons in pop culture history? Also with news from Doctor Who, Borderlands, and more!
2020-06-081h 42General Nerdery#026: Dancing With The Doctor"Are You My Mummy?" Four words that can terrify an entire fandom.

Dark, risque, but is there hope to be found as well? If not at least we get Jack Harkness! Also with news from The Muppets, Jurassic World, and more!

Where it goes from there is some of the most idealistically ambitious sci-fi comedy the Generals have ever beheld. So to help out, friend and seasoned fan of Red Dwarf Jesse skypes in for a convo. What ensues is admiration and laughs all inspired by this time-traveled tale of two abject smegheads just trying to get Back to Earth. Also with news from Bond, Thor, The Batman, and more!

Surrounding her with even more kick-ass women doubles the excitement. Throwing Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) into the mix is a cherry on top. Suffice to say this manic, Margot Robbie filled movie had a lot to live up to. So after having seen _Birds of Prey_, how did it do ?

This week the Generals take a look over at _Star Trek: The Next Generation_ as they do their best to quantify at what point a machine is also a person. Now, we love Data as much as the next guy (as long as the next guy isn't Commander Bruce Maddox), but Riker can make quite the argument. What do we love about this episode? Who do we hate?
