Tom Clancy: The Writer And The Wargamer

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Love the picture of the international naval task group used on the article... You can clearly see the UK's biggest ship HMS Ocean in the middle (the one touching the corner of the 'paper' in the article) and how it is massively dwarved by it's US and French counterparts!

Also... I love how this article has been timed with Yahtzee's 'need more names in gaming' article this week! Top editing! Clever way to further compound the points!

Damn. After reading this article I really wish that we had some Tom Clancy strategy games. Strategic naval warfare is not something many games have focused on and done well and I would love to play such a game.

Well, there was End War, but it wasn't great. The voice command system was pretty interesting, since I could control one squad manually, and give commands to the others without giving up control. Pretty convenient. It'd actually be interesting to get a version of it for something like Android tablets.
