| During Part 1 of our Gallipoli wargame event, Josh mentioned the written pre-game orders our top overall commanders issued to their subordinates. On the allied side, retired NZ general Rhys Jones played as Sir Ian Hamilton. On the Turkish side, YouTube superstar Griffin Johnsen (the Armchair Historian) played as Mehmet Esat Bulkat, III Corps commander. |  |
Rhys and Griffin served in remote roles, communicating only with the game umpire (Josh). They received maps and intelligence reports, but never saw the miniature tabletops or led troops in the field. They did issue written orders to their subcommanders, and now we're sharing those orders for the first time! Griffin's orders include his detailed deployment maps, as well.
