Most gamers have never heard of Braunstein. Sad but true. In the
hierarchy of self-awareness you’ll find the circle of gamers who know
what D&D is (a very, very large circle), then inside of that is the
circle of gamers who know what Greyhawk is (large but smaller), and
inside that the circle who knows what Blackmoor is (smaller still). And
then in the very center, vanishingly small, are the people who’ve heard
of Braunstein. Which is a pity, because Braunstein is the granddaddy of
them all. (Metafilter)

I liked reading this a lot. I know a man who was in the Army Reserve for many years, and for much of that time he was involved in training officers in military history and wargame simulation. Whenever he spoke about it, I couldn’t help but think that the combination of military knowledge with gamer’s sensibilities could have made the simulations so much more cinematic. To this day I’ve no idea how successful any of it would have been, but one can dream (or break out the dice!).
