Admittedly human players lean towards extreme actions in the late stage of wargames -- where they don't have to deal with consequences of said choices (as the game ends). However, 95% is a pretty stark percentage for AI nuclear use in wargames. I am curious why. www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

I recently received “The Bomber Mafia” as a birthday gift (heh). It was bad, so bad that I believe it cannot be read as a reliable account of strategic bombing in World War II. In so many ways, it demonstrates the worst tendencies of the “pop history” genre. My review (and latest)⬇️

Final del T2. La República lucha por entrar en Navalagamella, pero no lo consigue, al igual que en Quijorna, donde los nacionales llegan con refuerzos. Los elementos de la 11ªD que estaban en Brunete bajan a Sevilla la Nueva pero encuentran una gran fuerza de la 13ªD nacional.

Final del T4. Las cosas se complican para los republicanos.

Final de partida. Los republicanos pierden Brunete y la esperanza de al menos conseguir un empate.

From 5mins 26 secs you can see Germans and Italians entering Siwa Oasis, previously HQ of the LRDG. Some very interesting kit. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ1b...

Roma, nombre de mujer, ciudad encarnada en diosa. Y, sin embargo, cuando se narra su historia, no escuchamos las voces de las romanas ¿Podemos rescatar esas voces, podemos desafiar un silencio milenario e intentar recuperar lo que emperatrices, libertas o esclavas dijeron y sintieron?
