Yup. Will be pork barrel central
Additionally, sheer volume dominance of naval and air materiel no longer guarantees supremacy. The defender just got itself a 3rd die - with a profound impact on the game probabilities. Full note out at 7am EST on Friday.
In a world of cheap FPV drones, loitering munitions and electronic warfare, the defender is no longer defending static trenches with inferior armor. They have their cheap and lethal eyes in the sky (and on land and sea).
This 8% spread in favor of the aggressor - even after accounting for the fact that defenders win ties - dictates the entire strategy of the game. The Ukraine battlefield and the current conflict in the Middle East have inverted the math.
In this industrial era model, concentrating mass and taking the offensive yielded a statistical advantage. With three dice against two, the attacker can expect to have the 2 highest dice 37.2% of the time, while the defender only has them 29.3% of the time.
When Risk was designed in the 1950s, the game perfectly captured the military doctrines of WWII and the early Cold War. The rule whereby the attacker gets 3 dice while the defender gets only 2 reflects an era of mass mobilization and Kursk or El Alamein style mass tank battles.
In this week's note (which will hit inboxes at 7am EST on Friday) the 🐿️ contemplates how shifts in modern warfare are akin to giving the defender a 3rd die in the board game Risk. We update out defense basket after 18 months - now the NWOMIC™. www.blindsquirrelmac...
Thank you, @blindsquirrel.bsky.social, for reminding me about this informed and insightful podcast on the SpaceX IPO a few weeks back. I watched it then. Highly, highly recommended.
