COIN Sim: Modeling Civilians in Task Force Series

[Patrick Proctor]

Thanks,

Both of you, for very a thoughtful discussion.

I have thought very hard about this project, but I must confess have done little coding at this point.

To give you an idea of what is in my head, though, I am thinking of an OPERATIONAL level COIN simulator. In other words, you play GEN Petraeus rather than a battalion commander 4 levels below him. Both are valid sims, and both can be very entertaining. I think you are both describing the latter, but I think I want to take a crack at the former.
