I do it all the time in my strategic COIN games. Both sides get to do it, and depending on the game its effects can be to bolster one's own or reduce the enemy's political will, or to get a social group on or off side. Reducing the political will will eventually demoralize forces and they fight less effectively, so it has an operational effect too.
ReplyDeleteFor a game like Diplomacy, propaganda was part of the experience.
ReplyDeleteIt suited multi player very well and face to face.
Have not seen really good propaganda done over a computer screen.
