Friends- Earlier today, I had the absolute pleasure of finishing a two part conversation with Dr. Nicholas Murray- or "Nick" as I like to call him. To record all of his accolades in this bio would be an undertaking. To put it simply, he is an authority on game design, game implementation, and strategic thinking, and has spent years using games as a teaching tool. He worked at the Naval War College here in the US, and currently works at Johns Hopkins University as a wargame designer and instructor in the Strategic Thinkers Program (School of Advanced International Studies). He, along with Chris Pringle (author of Bloody Big Battles), have published three books on Carl von Clausewitz, and Nick himself has written numerous papers and books on his own. Nick came up in the field under the tutelage of folks like Hew Strachan at Oxford University, and continues to carve out an interesting path both in academic and the gaming world.
Having recorded our initial conversation back in the Fall, I felt it was finally time to release part 1 of this conversation. Expect to see part 2 in the near future- as in, the next two weeks!
I learned SO much in talking with Nick, and I hope you do as well. He is as humble and easy to talk to as he is brilliant, particularly in his understanding of Clausewitzian theory and it's application and reflection in tabletop wargaming. Please please please enjoy!!!
