Imperial War Museum exhibit "War Games: Real Conflicts"

Imperial War Museum (London, UK) has an upcoming exhibit on war games and popular culture:
https://www.iwm.org.uk/events/war-games

Not many strategy games but it looks interesting. Using an Xbox 360 controller to control a drones camera is a bit of a crossover between games and reality.

Re: OT: Ken Burns The Civil War PBS Documentary 1990 Language English

This was broadcast just recently in the UK on PBS America. I thought it was pretty good. Mauybe a bit too much sentimentality and too few maps but it gave a good overview.

Now this is no longer coming, could it be unpinned?

Or at least edit the title.

RE: Can someone explain Discord?

Works really well if you have a clan or squad etc that discuss plans outside of the game being played. The chat channels need to be well organised and disciplined.

RE: Anyone still play this?

Managed to take India by the end of April 1942 - that really helps the Japanese as it prevents the pilot bug, reduces the number of Allied subs, frees up planes for ASW and troops for China.

RE: If you could design your own computer wargame

Groundbreaking - probably a tactical game where one unit detecting the enemy doesn't mean an entire side has detected the enemy, but which still allows units to communicate to a less than perfect extent.

Or maybe a FPS where the AI can work in squads.

I think the last time I had MacDonalds was a beer and an ice cream on the beach front... back in the old days when we could travel!

Have you ever tried using the Steam link app instead? It looks to me like that would have greater compatability with games but I haven't got a controller to try it out with.
