   marmot really stepped in the shit here when said all the guys that played tabletop would get smoked 90sec into any conflict.
   
   I'm sure this is MOS specific, but I know more than one marine who was in an active warzone who fits this bill.
   
   Are these sorts the top killers the military has? Probably not. But they know enough not to get sent home in a bodybag.

     @VikingWays @sickburnbro I played hoi3 and though it's not a proper wargame I was always blown away by how many holes in my plan were exposed by playing it out.
     
     Russia didn't properly wargame this Ukraine invasion. If they did they would've gone straight for the Donbas and won in a few months.

     @dubbub @VikingWays I think Russia did wargame it. We don't know exactly *what* they wargamed though.
     
     They may have wargamed "war against NATO" as opposed to "war with Ukraine"

     Wargaming is literally what generals do
