 Connections US 2024 Wargaming Conference

Personal Highlights

• Visiting the US Army Heritage and Education Center (AHEC) , Army War College, for the very firt time!
• The largest ever! More than 250 participants gathered to talk and wargame.
• 8 Japanese participants, the largest number ever as well! Pleased to see this blogger's former colleagues!

• A legendary wargaming pro received the legendary award! TM, one of this blogger's wargaming mentors and the one who came to Japan to teach Matrix Games, received what he deserves.
  
• Defeated and briefed on why we lost in TM's Game Lab info game. Yes, lessons learned from one's defeat are even more important than those from his victory! I feel much smarter now!😅

• Finally, this blogger gave two presentations! Deception-focused wargaming and Imperial Japanese Armed Forces Educational Wargaming. Received great feedback from the audience for both. Both will hopefully be developed into a full paper or some kind of deliverable in the near future.
