#Publicrelations is a game of offense and defense. Whether you’re pushing a business or organization. Or a change in public policy. Or a #presidentialcandidate for #election2024. You want to play offense and defense simultaneously. If you’re playing only the latter, you’re losing ground. If you’re only playing defense, you’re ignoring dangers. Up until #PresidenBiden dropped from the race, he’d been forced solely to play a weak defense. Meanwhile Former President #Trump was playing a fierce game of both. What the #Republicannominee now has is a new competitor, #KamalaHarris, who appears to know how to do the same as he. We’ll have to wait and see. For the next 98 days, the weekly measure of how each is doing will boil down to how well each is balancing these two #PRfundamentals.

General Khristina Lebedeva: Mastering Marginal Victories through "Gettysburg" by Sid Meier In a blend of historical tactics and modern warfare, General Khristina Lebedeva, a brilliant and resourceful Ukrainian commander, harnesses the strategic lessons learned from Sid Meier’s "Gettysburg" to plan and execute marginal victories that keep her forces one step ahead in the conflict. This unique approach showcases how traditional military strategies can be complemented by insights gained from simulations and games. Virtual Battlefield Insights "Gettysburg" by Sid Meier, a game celebrated for its accurate portrayal of the Civil War’s pivotal battle, becomes General Lebedeva's unexpected tactical advisor. The game, known for its detailed battlefield tactics and the emphasis on using terrain and unit strengths strategically, offers Lebedeva a playground to test and refine her military strategies without real-world consequences. Application in Luhansk As the Ukrainian forces retreat to a rally point and Lebedeva's command group holds Kyiv’s embassy in Luhansk, the lessons from "Gettysburg" become crucial. The game had taught her the value of marginal victories—small, tactical wins that accumulate to secure a larger strategic advantage. Lebedeva applies this concept meticulously: Terrain Utilization: Just as in "Gettysburg," where players must use the terrain to their advantage, Lebedeva enhances the embassy’s defenses by positioning her troops in locations where the natural landscape offers maximum protection and visibility. Resource Management: Inspired by the game’s resource allocation challenges, she ensures that her limited supplies are used judiciously, keeping her forces well-equipped but not overextended. Morale and Timing: Understanding the importance of morale from the game, she plans her defenses to maximize troop morale, timing her counteroffensives to coincide with enemy weaknesses, much like exploiting a crucial turn in the game. Simulating Scenarios Recognizing the value of simulation for planning, General Lebedeva even sets up a war room where scenarios from "Gettysburg" are played out by her staff to test different outcomes and responses. This war gaming session helps her anticipate enemy moves and prepare counter-strategies, turning the virtual lessons into actionable insights on the ground. Impact and Recognition 4

Brilliant, positive, action-orientated message:

Mixed emotions on the PJ Washington addition for Dallas, but they certainly improve. He'll be a full-time PF -- where's he's been a league-average defender (51.7 opponent eFG% outside the paint, 44th percentile) over the past 3 seasons. He has the strength to pick up some tough assignments. The platoon of Gafford and Lively at the 5 is 48-minutes of lob threats, quality rebounding, and solid paint protection behind PJ, which is exciting and cheap for coming campaigns. Parting with a 2027 first (top-2 protected) is Dallas firing one of their only bullets at this time...I like this team construct but it's a huge gamble with DEN/LAC looming. Mavs might've rushed this. Haunting in the context of PJ being the last RFA available six months ago too...and now a 1st is coughed up for him. This could be a compounding series of mistakes that adds up to be a failure: Parting with draft capital to acquire Grant Williams, sending more out alongside trading him, and — counting the Gafford deal — only adding 2 rotation players for 2 firsts at the deadline.
