Period, custom, credible (we hope) destruction.

And yeah some "boom!" too if you turn on sound.

Are wargames educational?

We came, we saw, we ... discussed history and gaming.

Burden of Command's project lead, Luke Hughes, joined a discussion Monday (March 13) on WW2TV. The topic was Wargames -- are they educational? And how do developers balance authenticity and gameplay?

The discussion is now available, featuring:

  • Col. John Antal - executive producer for Brothers in Arms
  • @djackthompson - noted boardgame designer
  • @DPJHodges - Noted commentator & designer
  • Luke Hughes - project lead for Burden of Command
