Your friend and mine, The Jolly Broom Man recently wrote about wargaming rabbit holes after he disappeared down the warren that is the Hundred Years War. I was listening to Cavalier Cast (a podcast about the Wars of the Three Kingdoms) and came across an episode about Powick Bridge. The guest, John Spiller, had done research on the battle which overturned the standard narrative promoted by Clarendon.
John, a native of Worcester, said his research into this particular encounter started as an offshoot of a lockdown project to create a wargame of Powick Bridge. At the end of the podcast, the pod presenter, Mark Turnbull asked John what happened to the original war-game project. In true wargamer style, that didn't get off the ground due to said rabbit hole.
