Clancy had loys of games...maybe his cover for working on game theory and consulting with MI?
Remember when Q said “wait till you see who I am.”?
What if Clancy isn’t dead but just faked it. I know way out there but he did die right before this all started up.
He often wargamed with military specialists. They would spend 8 hours in different rooms of one house running moves and counter moves at each other.
He was considered to be one of the best.
