@R_P_one My recollection of getting in the back of a Boxer APC module was that it was somewhat anti-TARDIS :)

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@Clint_Davey1 Yes we can

@NavyLookout Technically they can be a minesweeper, not a hunter, unless cruise liners are hauling side scan sonar 😀

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@haynesdeborah Pretty much exactly the same as one of the scenarios that my students played out with my 'Cobalt Rocks' CUI attack/defence wargame

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@SebastianBae Oh man, I know what you mean. I've just been looking at the various half-finished projects on my hard drives and in my games room. It is around 60 (!) and thats a conservative estimate. Cuban Missile Crisis solo game, anyone? 😀

@BernardGra77791 @thinkdefence My colleague who was in the IPT remembers it differently. The MOD team wanted LM2500, WR21 was a political decision

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@R_P_one Yet.....

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@SebastianBae I had the same dilemma at Connections US this Summer. An additional suitcase was the answer :) Go on, treat yourself!

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@R_P_one Printing that tomorrow am. Need some gold paint :)

@toastlove_ Tactical pointed ingredients with 'Super Pointer Stick' 😀 Also, why do my players never look as disciplined as this? 😁

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@toastlove_ Tactical hand chop, excellent

@kejamieson_ Prof spots small detail on the pressure hull autocad drawing. Zooms in, sees a square and "cat flap" text. Asks "what's that??" 'It's so the cat can get in, obviously' Prof rolls eyes and wanders off, remembering that cats appeared in most of by coursework reports :)

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@kejamieson_ I included a cat flap in my boat when I did the UCL Submarine Design Course in 1997 :)

@R_P_one LRR in every UK pre CNGF concept I came across was S1850 (I spent a while in the project team from Future Frigate through to just before it became CNGF)

Eight simultaneous games of 'Take That Island' at yesterday's Maritime ISR conference. My brain was fried at the end!

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@EM_DAlessandro How did it go?

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@R_P_one

[David Manley @DMtheProf]

@R_P_one Go to NDP 😀
