A bug? I'm not sure the analogy holds. Why would the techniques used by the bad guy general not be available to a real adversary? Did he win by finding an exploit in the meta war-game (i.e. a cheat), or did he win fairly, entirely in the context of the game? I thought the latter.
- pavpanchekha 9y agoThe simulator teleported the "Blue Team" fleet right into harbor. They were not ordered to go there and were in fact ordered to stay away, precisely because that would lead to the possibility of boat attacks. I think that counts as a bug. The simulator also didn't account for the capacity of small boats, so allowed the boats to move much faster that reasonable for the amount of explosives they were supposedly carrying. That is probably not a cheat, just an exploitation of bad simulation rules, but also makes the results less demonstrative of the actual results of an engagement with Iran.
