Unfortunately, Dave, thats always been the case. The peasents, the conscripts, the Matloes, the PBI suffer, but Generals and Politicians die in bed, with thier honours.I doubt if a "War Game" is any different from a real war map, other than there is no need to write letters to the next of kin. - Or hear the anouncement on the BBC "The Admiralty regrets the loss of the corvette HMS Compass Rose, next of kin are being informed."
Gareth - in cynical mode.
