Recently, I facilitated a session of my "Littoral Commander Indo-Pacific" #wargame for a blended seminar at Marine Corps University. It is always an absolute pleasure to see the students engage with the game, the problem, and the decisions. My heckling is just a nice plus. 😂 🎲

This is getting somewhat lost. The night before Ukraine's drone raid, Russia conducted what was the largest drone attack on Ukraine in the war to date—and, I guess, ever—with 472 Shahed-type attack drones. Broke last week's record by 100 drones. kyivindependent.com/russia-shatt...

Jetlag is absolutely wrecking me today.

Finally, Sebastian "Seb" Bae is in the house! Exploring the new Littoral Commander: The Baltic @sebastianbae.bsky.social @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social

Grilled octopus (Jjukkumi) in mixed rice with shrimp tempura. Absolutely delicious. 🐙

Every Marine (and our allies and joint partners) in the Indo-Pacific should read this: the Pacific Marines Strategy 2025. news.usni.org/2025/05/30/p...

Regardless of the rating, I think this critique of my "Littoral Commander Baltic" is fair. The game has a lot of cards & can be punishing if you plan/select poorly. As a professional military educational game, that was the point. It is a FEATURE, not a bug. 1/
