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...

2025-06-0340 minThe Art of WargamingEpisode 113: On FlankingThe wars during the time of Clausewitz were set by conventions that sometimes seem strange to us in modern wargaming. One of the general prohibitions during that era, if I may include a spoiler, was that flanking was not a useful tactic. This is obviously not the case in modern war and wargaming, but the advice he does include is cautiously insightful. Malark delves into the deeps of this maneuver to bring back the pearls of wisdom relating to the methods of Defensive Flanking

2024-07-2832 minThe Art of WargamingEpisode 106: The Military Maxims of Napoleon (93-110)There are many realities about war that are understandably upsetting. This episode contains several such realities, such as the long term consequences of landmines and the brutal practice of taking hostages. And while concepts like this may not have direct application to many forms of wargaming, it is still important to understand them within the context of actual war. Napoleon discusses these concepts in his own time and they remain relevant to us in this age. To contrast some of these dark topics, Desi and Zuloo join us from the East of Belegarth to chat about their meta and...
2023-10-131h 05The 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.

2023-03-1341 minThe Art of WargamingEpisode 91: Defense of MountainsMost of what we study in the art of war concerns wide open spaces. One of the big reasons for this is that many of our authors wrote at a time when open warfare was the expected norm. During the time of Clausewitz, however, the rules were changing rapidly. As technology shaped the newly emerging battlefield, it also brought changes to tactics and strategy. Nowhere is this more evident than in the defense of mountains. Many of the rules are completely different, some counterintuitively, so they deserve their own special. Malark delves into these unique principles that govern the d...
2023-01-0948 minThe Art of WargamingEpisode 90: Defensive PositionsWhat are the differences between a defensive and a strong position? The short answer is that one is made to receive the enemy, whereas the other is designed to deny them entirely. This intent shapes the way we want our position to look and function. In either case the advantages sought, like the preservation of the lines of communication, are similar and well defined. Join us as we shore up our defenses by looking at the benefits of defensive and strong positions.

2022-12-1248 minThe Art of WargamingEpisode 88: Methods of ResistanceFor us to mount a successful defense, many things must be in our favor. These means of defense can and should be nurtured before war commences, but after the conflict has begun in earnest, then these means become paramount to victory. Of course, as Clausewitz has said before, no tactical victory can be called positive without offensive action taken to follow up. Through this interplay of forces we can see clear methods of resistance reveal themselves. Malark dishes up some strategy while we examine the methods of resistance.

2022-11-2845 minThe Art of WargamingEpisode 87: Offense and Defense in Strategy The principles of offense and defense are similar in tactics and warfare, sharing the same basic objectives. The main difference is that strategy cannot accomplish victory without the tactical successes to back it up. Strategy's take on principles such as advantage of ground and surprise have more to do with setting the stage for the most efficient tactical victory we can achieve. We also continue to explore the superiority of the defense when it comes to natural, but not always guaranteed, advantages.

2022-10-311h 25The Art of WargamingEpisode 86: Offense and Defense Moving now into the portion of "On War" concerned directly with tactics and military strategy, Clausewitz begins by defining defense within his concept of war. There are many reasons to fight/play defensively, and Clausewitz attests that the defense is the superior of the two when compared to offense. There are many advantages conferred to the defender, like usually having the advantage of terrain. He doesn't argue for absolute defense, of course, but the use of defense as an active state, prepared to switch to offense at a moment's notice. In this way, and others, he claims the defense...

How we approach the field physically and mentally, with our team or by ourselves, can determine victory before the match even begins.

2022-10-031h 18The Art of WargamingEpisode 84: The Three ArmsWhen we look at the field, whether in our games or in history, we can see three distinct elements that make up the whole. The long range element, the staying power, and the mobile forces all have roles to play, and those roles relate to each other in complicated ways. The ratio of these three elements changes the tactics that can be employed effectively. Artillery heavy armies conduct war in a much different fashion to cavalry. While infantry can be specially trained to fill one of the other roles, they are better done by those suited to them. Turkeyfeathers...
2022-09-301h 17The Art of WargamingEpisode 83: The Follow ThroughBattle has many uses, but only one guiding principle: the destruction of the enemy. The whole point of military science is to develop a reliable system by which to achieve victory. But what happens when we attain it? How best can we capitalize on our successes? Clausewitz offers very helpful advice in this section concerning the factors that influence the quality and usefulness of our victory. Once we've won our engagement, there's another crucial step, which is the pursuit. Unless our enemy was defeated, routed, and surrendered, there will be a need for some form of pursuit. Whether we...
2022-09-131h 37The Art of WargamingEpisode 82: The BattleNo battle can take place unless by mutual consent. By and large, this decision is left up to the defenders. Patience, then, is called for to give us the best chance at victory. A clear vision as well, because while there may be many minor and secondary objectives, there is only one primary objective that must be kept at the forefront of our plans. Our choices in battle lead to one defining and decisive moment. When that moment comes, what do we do with it? How will we know? Knowing the answers to these two questions is vital in...
2022-09-031h 06The Art of WargamingEpisode 81: Decisive ResultsGoing into a battle, we know our priorities. However, much like with our plan itself, it is best that we assume they will change in importance. Preparing for this helps us manage the shifting battlefield conditions. Of course it is best to have our priorities obscured as to move indirectly against our opponent, turning the odds in our favor. Knowing this will help us decide whether we seek a quick conclusion or try to draw our match out. Either way we seek victory, it is important to realize it is not absolute until we pass the crisis-stage. Kaji and...

Understanding the nature of modern war, or "meta" as it is called, is key to effective tactics, which are forever dependent on present forms. 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...

One of the largest among these is how to maneuver our forces to the right place at the right time with the right plan. For this, we must consider our movements in time and space. Once that force is assembled, it then falls to us to use it effectively. Boldness is often called for, but so too is thinking ahead to the next fight and the strength...
2022-07-041h 09The Art of WargamingEpisode 78: Prerequisites of VictoryThere are many factors that contribute to victory in very real ways. We have discussed how weather, privation, and low morale can wear at an army's fighting spirit. We have examined how culture and training shape the abilities of the forces on the field. But when we look at history as a whole, three main considerations are at play. The consequences from either the favor or disdain of these influences can dictate the outcome of a battle or war.

In this, it is important that we not get lost in the details, but cut away that which is irrelevant. In doing so, we may learn from history and the mistakes or triumphs made by great commanders of the past. Reks joins Malark to examine methods of critique and how best to use examples.

While understanding maxims and established rules is important, it is also important to consider that there are limits to theory and what it can predict. Even if a perfect system were devised, it would quickly become obsolete as the technology or systems of our opponents evolved. Most significant is the fact that we have patchy information at best in any battlefield situation as the fog of war keeps us from true understanding. Thumbs joins Malark for a chat about the...

2021-10-251h 43The Art of WargamingEpisode 62: Ends and Means in WarOur ends in war aim at disarming our enemy's army, conquering their country, and breaking their will. While one often leads to the other, our focus must be on either the army or the country. This can be done even if we find ourselves on a battlefield of unequal power. Through the many ways of influencing our probabilities, we are more sure footed on the path to victory. And of course, politics can tilt the scales in our favor.

Seeking to preserve order above all else, the counterinsurgent has a myriad of offensive and defensive operations at their disposal. Special Guest Par joins us to examine the details of these principles of violence.

The Art of WargamingEpisode 49: Contrary DoctrinesThe conduct of operations in asymmetric warfare is entirely unlike that seen in conventional warfare. The uneven nature of the contest changes the way the conflict must be approached. Many a 'superior' army has fallen into the trap of underestimating their foe. While numbers may be an advantage, they are no means a guarantee of victory. Malark is joined by special guest Todo, a long time wargamer and expert in this field.

The Art of WargamingEpisode 40: Taking to the FieldNumeric superiority is considered a boon in a battle, but in many ways a large force has drawbacks. Increased strain on logistics, cumbersome maneuvers, and chance of mutiny are all of concern. In wargaming, similar issues arise from too large an army in terms of command and control. Vegetius offers some workarounds for these issues in addressing situations, seasons, self-care, and exercise. Additionally, much of the advice offered in this section can help with the dangers of quarantine, both to physical and mental health.
