Default Re: How represents "Hybrid war" in SPMBT scenerio

Yes - there can only be 2 sides and everyone instantly knows which side a unit is on (so no civilians that may "turn into" tangos).

I used civilians in my uganda-tanzania scenario, but these are tanzanaians fleeing the Ugandans.

The game is also set up for regular armed conflict, there is meeting engagement, assault, defend etc. No search and destroy or similar "police" actions. No counter-insurgency or anti-rioter stuff.

But the game is set up with friends and enemies clearly defined and the only action with enemies is shoot to kill. No snatch squads in a riot police type thing - that would be a completely different game engine with those things baked in from the ground up.

So no "hybrid wars" - unless the "little green men" are labelled as "invaders" and can be shot on sight. Which isn't hybrid war by that point, really.

SP games only really can be used for "hot war" not the grey zones. Even "UN" scenarios would only be ones where one faction is actually engaging the peacekeeper UN forces.
