hello folks!

this is my first submission to sci.military, so go easy on me! ;-)

i have a couple of questions:

(i)	now that there has been considerable progress made in the Gulf War,
   	has anyone had a chance to study how the actual conflict compares
   	with the numerous computer simulations that we heard were
   	performed? in my view such a comparision would be useful to helping 
   	factoring in/adjusting many unknowns, and also many variable 
	with hitherto had been  just estimates.

(ii)	also is there any ftp-able software/source for any combat simulations
	available ? i am not seeking any classfied stuff 
	but any shareable stuff that may be available.
	simulations of previous conflicts are also welcome.

many thanks in advance!
