Well, apparantly pigs can fly. Kotaku has launched a new column that's all about wargaming. They start of with a bang with a big story about beans. Beans? Yes, beans.
The problem is that games tend to conflate logistics with economics. Thus the Civilization series attempts to constrain the size of armies by requiring gold and food to support them. Yet those humongous stacks of tanks in Civ 4 traverse the landscape with nary a concern about supply lines. Logistics is an operational issue. It's not just having enough gasoline, but making sure that it reaches the troops who need it. Logistics don't guarantee victory; many a well-supplied army has lost.

Okay, not specifically beans then.

Because it's shit? This is the kind of thing that passes as a video game article there. And it isn't even the worst one.
