Military game maker Kuma Reality Games has created an ongoing war game based on incidents from the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The game is updated as events on the ground change. Currently, there are more than 62 different missions that you can choose from....
"These games allow people to educate themselves on critical events shaping history using powerful interactive tools, while also providing a dynamic forum for exploration and discussion."...
"With US Attacks Iran, we follow the lead of networks like The History Channel and Discovery in bringing news headlines to life with speculative re-creations."
What sets us apart is that our audience actually gets to participate, experiencing the news - and perhaps news yet-to-come - in free, playable simulations utilising advanced game technology."

Playing the "news-yet-to-come"
Now I'm beginning to understand what the chickenhawks have been doing in private. Let's explore and discuss.

Clearly, the treasonous people at Kuma Reality Games have compromised our national security by divulging our intents in Iran. NSA wiretapping has revealed that these people are terrorist operatives living in the US.
Rex --
Just a correction: the entirely legal practice of gametapping will have revealed US intents were they to have been divulged virtually. Since the possibility of future virtual divulging of national security issues is one of our most dire national emergencies, the Executive ought to have full power to prosecute future virtual gameplayers if they were to have considered invading Iran. This is to be called the Perish the Thought Amendment.
I'm waiting for "US ATTACKS FRANCE".
It gets better: have a look, if you haven't already, at Wells Tower's piece in the current Harper's Magazine: "Under the god gun: Battling a fake insurgency in the Army’s imitation Iraq." Disturbing and hilarious and disturbing.
