In 1974 Paddy Griffith ran a game about operation Sealion at at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and the Staff College. With 6 generals and many military experts, including many with combat experience from WWII, it was a serious attempt to explore a contested area of military history. After a number of years research, I have just uploaded a video about the game.
It may amuse you for 30 mins over coffee one day, or it may not!

That was very interesting, thanks for sharing. I always liked Paddy Griffith, I didn't always agree with him but his writing always made me think. |
