I dunno. Based on my limited exposure, I would have thought that what you'd learn from war games is to spend hours and hours setting things up, then get called for dinner. Some of those games took longer to prepare than the original war took to fight.

"To bring the dead to life
Is no great magic.
Few are wholly dead:
Blow on a dead man's embers
And a live flame will start."
-Robert Graves, "To Bring the Dead to Life"
