Unfair tactics! It's endemic in military exercises that anything that doesn't follow the script is suppressed.
My son was 'insurgent leader' for an Army exercise in Korea. His team of 6 used various tactics (inside information between exercises gained from friends in the camp; feints; bribing their way in through the back gate) and ultimately got a 'suicide bomber' into the command tent. After that they went round behind the defenders and only stopped when they ran out of simulated ammo. 6 guys defeated a company.
There was curiously no 'after action review', and further exercises were scripted if I remember right.
Anyway yeah, nobody wants that kind of result on the record.
