What’s this, Doug having a cerebral discussion about wargame design theory with an actual professional wargame designer? Don’t laugh to hard at poor Doug as he attempts to discuss how morale is (or is not) represented in aerial wargames with David Redpath, designer of Bandits 2 and current professional Defense Wargamer. Doug and Dave roam all over the topic, offering both historical examples as well as hypothetical musings, all in an attempt to inform the next generation of game designers on how to remedy a common oversight in Aerial Wargames.
