Wargaming is the best geography education you will ever receive.
If you meet someone who knows all the major cities of Belgium, or all the islands of the Pacific, or all the provinces of Germany - you can bet they've spent hours in front of maps like these:

Currently testing out the VASSAL module for my "Littoral Commander: Baltics" #wargame. Once again, @PastorJoelT has done an amazing job. The best feature is being able to assemble the multiple maps together. 🗺️ Does anyone want to playtest LC:Baltics VASSAL? #wargaming

Here is a sneak preview of the new maps for my "Littoral Commander Indo-Pacific" #wargame. They feature black hex numbers for better readability, hollow hexes to feature terrain underneath, and updated terrain analysis. Amazing work by @CascadiaMac once again! #wargaming

Four huge maps again--but really two ginormous ones...and they all fit into a massive one.

Check out the Littoral Commander #wargame map on display for a #GIS conference! It features the amazing map-making skills of @CascadiaMac! He is an absolute superstar. ⭐ #wargaming

I love it when #PME schools design their own scenarios and adapt my "Littoral Commander: Indo-Pacific" to their own specific needs. The Italian Naval Staff College designed their own Mediterranean/ Italian map! A work in progress. #wargaming

Gotcha coverd! Here's our interactive UC map: webapps-cdn.esri.com/CDN/uc-…. And for the record, cartographers don't get lost - they take detours 😉
Irony of the #esriuc is I’m surrounded by maps but constantly lost. This convention center is a labyrinth.

The Joint Capability Cards in Littoral Commander Indo-Pacific were specifically designed to allow units, commands, and school houses to customize and create their capabilities to explore in the game. This is exactly what I wanted. #wargaming
Draft additional cards for #LittoralCommander being trialled by the Royal Navy for one of their courses... @SebastianBae

"Major's Gambit" was designed by my @GeorgetownCSS students for @USACGSC in 2022. Now it has a printed boxed version for educational #wargaming for US Army units & commands - thanks to @smarkg52! I couldn't be more proud of their hard work. 🎲

As the sun sets, T3 ends. Heavy monsoon grounds aviation, PLAN runs out of supplies, crippled by EMS jamming, losing two more ships. Hits back, tactical cyber on USN, balistic missile strike on two military targets. Carnage, tooth and nail fight.
