>>If you know, have we ever played a war game without satellites or other essential electronic support?<<

We have considered this and are developing defensive/offensive measures. We like GPS, but what if it is shut down? We have back up delivery systems and such, they just are not as acccurate as the front-line state of the practise systems.
Further, when engaging in EMP-type battles, the difficulty is in a close battle. Much like chem/bio/smoke, it affects everything on the battlefield--friend and foe.

For strategic attacks, this is no real problem, as we turn out the lights in the enemy's camp, not ours. We have to watch out for the whiners that wail about pulling the plug on grandma while she is on some operating table in the local hospital. Here we enter into the area of double-effect and proportionality.

So, our simulations do incorporate this threat, but not as much as they should.
