@BigJackBrass@social.vivaldi.net I’m way behind on this podcast but their estimate for the full run seems to vary between 8 and 40 years. A lot depends on how well their automation works to streamlines the copious record keeping.

@BigJackBrass@social.vivaldi.net in _The General_ V13 #6, Charles Starks had a humor article "The Ultimate Wargame", describing "IT! - The individual, man-to-man combat game of World War II, 1939-1945". He describes its delivery in 3 containers, excerpts from volume 263 of the rulebook on Paratroops, and mentions one box of 25,000 counters with individual German leaders and soldiers in profile. This came out the year before the actual game described at your link. Chicken or egg? https://www.vftt.co.uk/files/AH%20The%20General/The%20General%20Vol%2013%20No%206.pdf
