My piece for the Jewish Daily Forward. Thought a few people here might be interested in this. http://forward.com/articles/184721/war-games-depict-history-of-israel-and-challenge-p/?p=all

Good article. As an introduction to wargaming for those that no nothing about it, I think it's a good hook into history, considering the audience.
Yeah, the article is so-so. I ended up cramming too much into a thousand words. I'm just happy a mainstream paper would even run it.

Don't know if this would be worth your while to follow up on. When S&T got going after Jim Dunnagin took over, an occasional contributor was a New York lady, Naomi Goldwasser. I think she contributed perhaps six articles that got published.
At the time, Dunnagin mentioned how surprising it was to find a female doing game review/design, and on top of that she was Jewish.
Thanks, I didn't know that. According to Mark Herman, the only Jews at SPI were him, Richard Berg and Eric Goldberg.

Idon't think my memory is that screwed up.
All my old S&Ts were mushed in a basement flood years ago so cannot look into this.
Sounds like that woman was there before Mark Herman.
