Mentioned in Dispatches, Season 5 Episode 8 – Science Fiction Warfare & Gaming

30 October ~ Author Henry Vogel and BuNine Member/DoD wargame practitioner Chris Weuve join Brant and BBMike to talk about all sorts of issues related to sci-fi gaming, theoretical space combat, role-playing individual level personalities, and what goes on your tombstone.  Henry gives is a peek into his books and what’s up next, as well as where his characters and storylines fit into a game. Don’t forget, you can always catch up with past episodes on the “podcast” tab of our site. There’s all sorts of conversations about how space warfare is more like submarines than ships-of-the-line, and why space navy ship classes are so often wrong. Which version of Star Trek is the best? How do military folks actually behave on their vessels? What’s the favorite sci-fi game to hit the table for our panelists?  And what the heck does Gunkata have to do with tactical FTL space drives? Also, a bunch of Henry’s books are on sale right now – some for free! – so make sure you check out his author page for some golden-age-of-pulp-sci-fi action.
