This sound s like just what the doctor ordered I think that being able
to play an admiral in the Zhodane or Imperial fleet would be a hoot.

I have been looking for war games that do just that, think of being Lee
approaching Gettysburg, not know who or where Meade was, thinking that
Reynolds would be a better choice. Not having your cavalry to give you
the intelligence to make rational decisions. This is what a war simulation
is for me.
