Haha 😆 well let me know what you think about it. Good or bad. Always trying to improve

Dude. You're in for a ride. Pulls at the heartstrings HARD.

The whole series is so so so good.

Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Haha 😆 I hope you're right and the conflict never happens. And the game features different scenarios. 😁

Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Similar concept but the victory conception is different. It is less of an all or nothing duel. You have to balance keeping as many of your own forces alive but also either sink or escort the convoys. I wanted to focus on risk to mission vs risk to force

Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
But do you want to play it?

Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I always like game concepts that have that kind of concept 😆

What a great idea!

This draft scenario for my upcoming "Littoral Commander: Japan" is one of my favorites so far. It is brutal, fast-paced, and you have to balance competing priorities. Each side has to achieve their goal, but can't risk losing too much in the pursuit. Love it. 🎲

If you could assemble any five game designers to design a game for you, who would be on the team? And what would you have them design? It can be a commercial, educational, or analytical game. #wargaming

Absolutely cannot trust them

Like I think if a company or person buys or licenses an AI agent to do fraud like doing scams or hacking, the user should also be liable for that criminality. There is nuance here but I do think liability holds for the creator of AI and any misapplication of it too
110
Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Such as someone using the AI to commit fraud or crimes.
100
Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I agree. I would also add that the people who use the agents should also be liable if anything criminal happens too
100
Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I completely agree. Liability of AI actions is something we need to address
010
Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I don't think we got to AGI yet. But I also think that these AIs are acting in ways we cannot predict or control when we set them on a task and I think that's equally dangerous
110
Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
We should be more wary of tools that we cannot understand or control.

Are you talking about the international Kriegsspiel discord? If so yes. I am not very active on discord

Some steps were not correctly conveyed in my order. Mistakes were made.

Jerome. Hero. We joked that we should make a patch for the campaign with a balloon and the words "eternally watching from above"

Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
That sums it up correctly.....

Sebastian Bae @sebastianbae.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
A hilarious moment in the game was when one of my brigades seized an enemy balloon 🎈 but didn't know how to use it. So I wrote some instructions... But I neglected to instruct them to keep a rope to be able to control the balloon. So poor Jerome floated off, a hero of the French nation. 😆

I had the pleasure of playing a Kriegsspiel facilitated by Jorit Wintjes, a master of the form. Our French team seized our objectives of Margate and Ramsgate - despite some challenges. The double blind nature of the gameplay highlights the uncertainty of command in a visceral way. 🎲 #wargaming
