    How do you solve a problem like Badajoz?

    The sixth episode of Send Three & Fourpence.   The siege of Badajoz was unquestionably a dark day in the history of the British Army.  On the 6th of April 1812, Wellington's army which was besieging the French garrison launched an all out assault on two breaches that had been made in the walls.    The result was hellish.  The attackers suffered 4,800 casualties, but successfully stormed the town.   After the storm, the officers lost control of their men and the town was sacked. Three days of murder, rape, robbery and looting followed before order was restored.  Zack White of "The Napoleonicist" podcast has argued quite convincingly to my mind that the sack was, if not officially sanctioned, considered an  acceptable risk.  The loot that would result was thought of as a necessary inducement to convince men to storm the town in the face of determined opposition and lacking an appropriate siege train.  You can listen to Zack make his arguments here.  https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/5419df_26b304f3a6264f8b9d372606be2392c3.mp3 https://anchor.fm/the-napoleonicist/episodes/The-Curious-Case-of-Badajoz-The-aftermath-of-British-sieges-in-the-Peninsular-War-ecqaj8 At the end of the episode, I pose a question - "Knowing what Wellington knew at the time and knowing the likely result for the civilian population,  would you have ordered the storming of Badajoz?"  I'd be interested to hear what you think.  You can leave a message at https://anchor.fm/conrad-kinch or you can record something and send it to me at conrad.kinch@gmail.com.

    Writing rules is hard

    Gamers often give out about how game rules have loop holes in them or that they need more editing. I think we’re being a bit hard on them. This was mainly prompted by an episode by Dave of @d_percentile. Also it is late, I need to be up for work in four and a half hours and I can’t sleep. So I recorded a podcast.

    Remote Wargaming in the time of Corona Virus

    Episode 4 of Send Three & Fourpence A lot of us are locked up in our homes at the moment and don't have access to our normal wargaming outlet.   However,  we do have access to video conferencing technology that makes it possible to play wargames (and boardgames) remotely.  I've been playing like this for a couple of years, when time allows, and have picked up some tips on how to make your remote wargames run a bit more smoothly.  If you'd like to see some pictures of my setup and description of our latest game, you will find it on my blog Joy & Forgetfulness.  Other blogs mentioned in this episode.  Winter of '79 Battle Game of the Month
