COIN Collectors #3: A Distant Plain

from Dads on a Map Hosted by Dads on a Map

Welcome to a special Dads on a Map: Game Over session discussing the 2013 war game "A Distant Plain", hosted by the COIN Collectors, the war gaming channel of the Dads on a Map discord. This session saw COIN Collectors Phil, Tom, Tyler, and Mark reliving the 20 year conflict in Afghanistan. The game challenged our abilities to manage alliances and balance goals, and caused us to examine our perspectives on this conflict and war games broadly.
