Greetings from lovely Downtown Lancaster, PA, home of Historicon 2023.
Rather than start a new topic, it's time to update an old discussion. (Now you know why I don't put years on these topics when I start them.) What's 13+ years between posts? Perhaps a new TMP record?
For those who might be interested, what follows is a VERY brief summary of the War College lectures at Historicon 2023. For further details, please check the convention program or the Historicon Guidebook.
