This rather long issue is dedicated to a single article. How I played and lost a military Matrix Game and the lessons I tried to teach the other players. Mark Kinney is still running the game as I write but the lessons are over. My goal in playing was to show the players how to run military campaigns using a Matrix Game. To date our PBEMs have largely been about politics rather than marching. Mark's game is open to pure fighting. Since he is using the Classical Matrix Game rules unaltered, the players have a chance to see just how they work. Makr is doing a great job in running the game. I hope I have not been a pain in running my psychotic king – out to teach the world how to kill him!
