Command & Control: Giving the General something useful to do

Last week I discussed some of the problems associated with multi-player wargames, particularly the headaches this can give the army commander. This week I offer suggestions for providing the overall commander with a meaningful role when he has sub-commanders. to control.

  2. Interesting topic that I am sure has entered the thought process of many a gamer in a multiplayer game. Communication up and down the chain of command is critical before and during the game. As Army Commander, I tend to keep a tight rein on subordinates needing guidance and direction while letting those showing useful initiative free rein. Again, communication is key!

    By the way, another excellent book review.
