Loved this. My god, I spent so many hours playing Ancient Art of War at Sea! Great conversation, and thanks for digging up those fond memories!

He's talking about HLL like it's some ground-braking game yet it basically does the same things that were done already 10-15 years ago with games like OFP, Arma series, Project Reality, Red Orchestra, etc. More photo-realistic assets, some different meta and game mechanics, a bit bigger player number than most games, but that's about it. It's an evolution. Revolution happened somewhere between late 90's and mid 2000's.

I started my war gaming back in the ‘70’s in my early teens with rules that were very detailed and quite complex. I still have the rules somewhere in a box! Napolionic was my thing and though I don’t play it anymore I still have my favourite lead figures packed away. Spent hours painting them. Great memories and many, many hours of fun. Really a fascinating and ridiculously enjoyable episode Dan! Thanks so much.

I actually just finished playing Hell Let Lose before I watched this video. It’s an incredible game. It has plenty of tactical war gaming and traditional online gaming mixed together.

Dan please come to the UK, I know thousands of History students would like to thank you for inspiring them in person.

For those of you who like this kind of thing you may want to look into a game called War of Rights which came out several years ago (but is still in alpha because they have a really small dev team). It covers the Antietam Campaign of the American Civil War and just like Hell Let Loose would eventually do every soldier on the field is played by a real person. Battles are 150 people per map and recently they have tested and come out with 200 person servers. Attention to detail is also well done and to my knowledge all the weapons and uniforms, and flags (they are not afraid to put the Confederate Battleflag in game) are very historically accurate. The battlefields have been very well recreated and the way that people are encouraged to actually fight in battle lines and formations (it uses a point system, if you fight and die in line your team suffers less point loss than if you died while fighting alone or skirmishing) and encouraged to carry and protect the flag (it is a mobile spawn point for your team but it just be held up to work) is well done, and so is the in game voice communication system, which is based on how close you are to the person speaking. Also just like Hell Let Loose would eventually do in War of Rights you fight over important parts of the battlefields like a certain road or hill. It very much seems like Hell Let Loose might have taken inspiration from that game. In fact from what I have seen Hell Let Loose seems like a WW2 version of War of Rights.

Head shots in HLL are the most satisfying of any game I've played

This episode combines SO many things I enjoy into one awesome package.

Dan, I remember listening to Blueprint for Armageddon like a year and a half ago, and at that time I started playing Hell Let Loose, at some point you'll get either shelled or bombarded and the immersion is so good you can feel some of the desolation and despair those countless souls have felt in a real battlefield, and while being in a safe space in the comfort of your home is not the same thing at all, just put some. of those things into perspective, at least for me, nice episode.

If anything hell let loose has given me a better appreciation for the brutality of the battlefield because death comes quickly, and you typically have no idea where it came from. It really drives home the cruelty of the randomness of the entire endeavor. It also helps me to appreciate the bravery of those men given how quickly they all knew they could die.

I was a bit surprised and disappointed that he had not experienced the game for himself. Hell Let Lose or Beyond the Wire really bring a specific element of the experience of war in those periods to a level of understanding that I think even someone as knowledgeable as Dan could appreciate.

When I was a kid my brothers and I would take all of our army men and line them up in opposing formations and then take marbles and roll them across the floor to attack the enemy troops and knock them over. We used different sized marbles to account for different types of soldiers and we would roll the marble from the position of the one we were attacking with. No math but still fun and your story brought back that old memory

Age of Empires was my gateway as well into thousands of hours of history books and podcasts.

I bought my first computer to play the game Wolfpack at home (instead of sneaking in to work on the weekend). You could play either as a U boat attacking or a destroyer protecting a convoy. All sound were through the built in speaker and resolution was vga so most of the game was in your imagination but it was a blast.

As a paradox player this is interesting to hear how people used to play.

For me, war simulation is not just about combat from a FPS perspective (which this and most others seem to be.. Doom clones essentially).. for me its about a deeper experience, learning about War includes gaining an understanding of the importance of logistics in the outcome, combat engineering and planning of FOB's & armoured positions, intel of the opossing forces positions and intentions, counter intel, large scaled planned ops and ultimately providing an open sandbox and a set of rules for large numbers of actual humans (in the thousands, not 100) to act and communicate in real-time as a crowd under these situations.. current hardware really only allows the FPS experience to scale to about 100 players and thats pushing it with the average gamers hardware/internet speed so for a deeper experience with thousands not a hundred players, a top down view real time RTS type interface is where we are at. There really is only one game out there that even approaches that goal and it's name is Foxhole. Several thousand players interact in a persistant war between 2 factions set around WW1/WW2 technology (there is no air power in the game and the outcome is a collabroative effort). We are currently on War 80, come join the cause.
