_Axe_ Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Found this: ConsimWorld: It is no great secret that our members are historical gaming enthusiasts, some of whom you may have met at ORIGINS. Have you ever delved into historical boardgaming, or do you have any impression of this means of studying history through simulation (I believe you got a look at GMT Games' BARBAROSSA operational level game designed by Vance von Borries)? Glantz: Having long ignored and perhaps ever scorned "gamers," I have a newborn respect for their efforts. First, while much of the academic community has eschewed the study of war (and ultimately will probably be victimized in the future for their shortsightedness), war-gamers and military enthusiast have filled the gap. They and their demands are keeping alive the study of and interest in (understanding) war. I am also impressed by the attention to detail and accuracy many of the "gamers" display. While most intellectuals and thinkers are now interested only in the simple (like checkers), gamers are preserving and encouraging detail and depth (and hence, knowledge), as would a chess player. Having said all of this, I myself have not had time to play any of the games. In a sense, however, I am doing so by my painstaking work to reconstruct known, forgotten, or deliberately covered-up military operations. Full interview (1998) here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
