#OTD 175 years ago, @NavalAcademy midshipmen hanged a professor in effigy to protest the infantry and artillery drills he led. Our latest blog post details the incident and the response to it. libguides.usna.edu/c.php?g=4…

The @USNAMuseum runs a fine podcast called #PrebleHall, which interviews some of the greatest historical minds our nation has ever produced. Also, me (you can almost hear the barrel being scraped). Have a listen here (or any platform): podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Love reading @Doctrine_Man? Can't get enough @WarintheFuture? Rabid fan of @USNAMuseum's Preble Hall? Then we want you to submit a proposal for #NavyCon 2022. It's a venue where you can argue that #thrawn was overpromoted or Londo was an Orbanesque figure, and folks will get it!
It's here! The #NavyCon 2022 call for papers is officially out! Spread it around your social media and help us get another top-notch group of presenters for June. We've had so many amazing people share their thoughts, and we can't wait for it to happen again! @TheJointGeeks
The @USNAMuseum has a new exhibit and in this local business spotlight, we discuss it with Managing Dir. Sarah McGlone & Senior Curator Tracie Logan. Of course much more, and we got to the bottom of who's really inside the crypt of JPJ! Have a listen! eyeonannapolis.libsyn.com/lo…

For more photos of the wargames designed by the Midshipmen, check out the thread below. And NONE of this could have been possible with the immense and steadfast support of @cgberube, Marcus Jones, and @USNAMuseum. End/ nitter.gq/SebastianBae/status/13…
Replying to @SebastianBae
This group's #wargame examines the Queen of Pirates in the early 1800s in the Pearl River Delta in China. The pirate confederation must either pillage enough gold or punish the Qing into submitting through force. Yes that is @Volko26 😉

Exploring the Battle of Alesia, this wargame is a siege warfare game where Romans must balance a delicate balance of defense against both an inner and outer enemy force. Cubes are multi colored to indicate its size. 6/

Blending rules from both miniatures and hex & counter games. This wargame involves a balanced approach to ground combat in WWII at the tactical level. Pairing unit profiles with easy play. 5/

Not your typical air combat #wargame. This wargame focuses on the management of generating air power across competing missions in the 1982 Falklands War. Think worker placement for air combat. 4/

This game examines the asymmetrical dynamic in counter-piracy operations in the Pearl River Delta, China in the early 1800s. Gameplay centers around both the maneuver of fleets, but also their sustainment at sea. A tug of war as the Qing try to protect the delta from pirates. 3/
