Thats like saying we have the best go kart when it comes to racing.
Well, they appear to have bested your nukular subs and a carrier in combat situations, so...i can't really see your point actually
EDIT: not to mention that i don't think you actually have any modern diesel combat subs...
And considering wargames usually hamstring someone in one way or another it means very little. Let them play a "real" wargames scenario. No tied hands, no limits, no little playing field. THEN lets see what happens.
How exactly would you play a 'real' scenario? Let them shoot each other?
You are making baseless assumptions that 'you' were hamstrung because there is no possible way in your mind you could not be the best at everything :laugh:
Let the carrier group sail out of Norfolk, let your subs sail off your rickety wooden dock. The games are played in the Atlantic, the goal is having the carrier group get from point A to point B (Say, Japan) without getting "killed".
There was a big fiasco some years ago because we ran a wargame with I believe it was India. Big stink about how are fighters didnt perform very well, they killed us, need to update fighters yada yada.
Wargames generally hamstring someone. Its like sending a world class heavyweight boxer to the local boxing ring and then tying his hands behind his back and having the local guys brag that they beat a world class boxer.
Make it FAIR, then see what happens. Wargames are important, and its not a matter of who wins so much as a matter of fine tuning tactics and procedures for both sides. But its certainly not fair for one side to claim victory if they had an advantage to begin with either.
