I did not realize how picture heavy this episode was going to be, so this one needed a view after the listen.
Enjoyed the breakdowns, and from the closing I think that smaller scale land games are really well suited to linkages with naval games because a smaller scale allows a larger scope of game, and naval games naturally have larger scopes than most ground based alternatives. Apart from amphibious landings or shore operations though, I am not really familiar with many games that deal with many units based on both mediums on the same table apart from Dystopian Wars.
For ground and naval games across different tables, I also have not seen many published campaigns that have a great deal of integration between the two areas either. For example the following is from the two paragraphs dealing with land campaigns in Warlord Games’ Black Seas…
Or you might play a campaign which uses Black Powder to resolve land battles and Black Seas to resolve sea battles. Such a campaign probably needs an umpire, who would have the role of working out what the impact of the two kinds of battle would be.
…not the most defined system that I have seen, and I would be glad to hear of any others that have more detail.
