Gamers use historical data, context to play out scenarios

On Thursday, July 23, 2026, historical gamers in St. Charles used data and context to play out various scenarios. D.J. Carter coordinated with game master Steve Lowry to measure distances between American and Japanese battleships. Simultaneously, Kurt Linke participated in a 'What if' scenario based on the Second Boer War of 1899, manipulating and indicating a downed MacBride Irish Brigade fighter during his moves at the event to simulate historical military engagements.
