Re:Open source war simulation software as a equali (Score 1)

Yes but know for instance the correct range to engage M1s with T72s does help a under equiped nation prepare its self. Also knowing the formational structure and tacticial doctrine greatly helps a nation prepare for war. Also choices such as whether to engage tanks which you cannot destroy vs APC's which you can easily kill, can often turn the tide of a modern battle. Tactical doctrine in allot of smaller countries is whoefully lacking, knowing when and how to fight was how the Vietcong were able to defeat the US, and how the Afgans defeated the USSR. As to your lame comment about the SIS, why would they care, making such software violates no NZ export laws.
