Machiavelli’s Art of War is arguably one of the most important influences in western linear tactics. We begin our study of this storied work by looking at the civic side of Wargaming and the communities they create, as well as examining Machiavelli’s advice for troop selection and recruitment.

Before we start Machiavelli's "The Art of War", we take a diversion to examine the world for which it was created. Who was our author? Who was he writing for? As we look at the differences between our authors, join us for a quick dive into Renaissance Italy and the Republic of Florence.

Before we delve into Machiavelli, it's only appropriate that we talk about spies.  From the local barkeep to the boisterous commander, there is knowledge to be found in all places for those who know how to look.

The concept of successful use of ground as a force multiplier is so important, it spans two chapters! In this episode, we focus on the use of ground as it applies to motion. Oni and Malark also delve into the six paths to defeat that any commander should avoid and ask the question: "Where do we go next?"
