#Ukraine. Mike Martin, former army officer and author, speaks
about war and Ukraine.
"In this episode, listen to Mike in conversation with The Times’ Diplomatic Editor and foreign affairs columnist Roger Boyes about the fundamentals of warfare, from infantry to information, and from strategy to tactics, in order to better understand today’s wars, and be more prepared for the coming decades of conflict."
#AfterWords podcast.
Has any war in history gone according to plan? Monarchs, dictators and elected leaders alike have a dismal record on military decision-making, from over-ambitious goals to disregarding intelligence, terrain, or enemy capabilities. ‘How to Fight a War’ by former army officer and author Mike Martin is a crisp indispensable guide to understanding modern warfare. In this episode, listen to Mike in conversation with The Times’ Diplomatic Editor and foreign affairs columnist Roger Boyes about the fundamentals of warfare, from infantry to information, and from strategy to tactics, in order to better understand today’s wars, and be more prepared for the coming decades of conflict.
Our Kickstarter campaign ended yesterday and we didn't reach the funding threshold. I would like to thanks every bakers as well as the great team at @FarHorizonsCoOp.
The team and our great project leader @Phophos are now talking some well-deserved rest. We will then discuss to find another way to bring #Afterwords to life.
In the meantime, I'm going to write something for the promotion #DeathJam on #itchio:
https://itch.io/jam/afterwords-the-death-jam
I would like to end on a positive note 
Against all expectations, our #kickstarer #Afterwords received in 5 days the same amount of money as it had received in the whole of the last 3 weeks. I had more or less surrendered, but now I renewed my hope!
My essay on the vision of death among #neurodiversity and 4 #TTRPG on the theme of death need a boost.
As one of my interviewees said, death in RPGs is always seen as heroic or futile. Help us to make it something simply human.
Contre toute attente, notre #kickstarer #Afterwords a reçu en 5j la même somme que celle sur l'ensemble des 3 dernières semaines. Je n'y croyais plus mais là, l'espoir renaît!
Mon essai sur la vision de la mort dans la #neurodiversité ainsi que 4 #jdr sur le thème de la mort ont besoin d'un coup de pouce.
Comme le disais l'un de mes interviewés, la mort dans les JDR est toujours perçu comme héroïque ou futile. Aidez-nous a en faire quelque chose de simplement humain.
AFTERWORDS: The Far Horizons Guide to Death💀is an amazing anthology of indie ttrpg games and essays on the subject of death. It's crowdfunding now on Kickstarter and we'd be stoked if you could join the campaign and get involved.
Here's a hot new #Afterwords announcement!
