AI: Boon or boondoggle for sim and wargame studios?
Today’s article is inspired by an eye-opening conversation I had with a developer pal recently. My friend creates bespoke business software and over the last year has become a firm fan of AI-assisted coding. His enthusiasm got me thinking. Are devs in Grogland and Simulatia coding with the help of AI? Are they using it in other similarly inconspicuous ways? I set about finding out.
Friday Foxer #255
Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome to participate.

Bounce the Bogen: Turn 15
I reckon there are few more evocative sound effects in computer wargaming than the wave files in CMBO’s audio folder numbered 900 to 904. Used to communicate close quarters violence largely ignored by Big Time Software’s no-frills graphics engine, these chilling melee noises play several times this turn as British troops close to the rail bridge launch local assaults and fend off counterattacks.
