The panel welcomes Mark H. Walker to the round table for a bruising discussion of his upcoming squad based wargame Lock N Load: Heroes of Stalingrad.Bruce and Julian dominate an unusually combative conversation, whichonly shows how much we care. What is the place of narrative in wargames? Do designers overestimate how intuitive their designs are? Apologies for the sound quality here. In spite of a perfect soundtest earlier in the day, Mark’s satellite internet was not up to thetask later that night so he had to phone in. Then the recording somehowmade Troy’s comments appear three seconds later than they actuallyhappened, making editing a real pain in the ass and borking the Dominions 3 discussion altogether. (Short version, Bruce didn’t send his turn but notice he was attacked by Julian’s deer men.)Lock N LoadMatrix Games
