Wasn't this a thread created to prevent the threadjacking of a different thread?
Jes' sayin'.
BTW, I recommend the book "Battle for Hunger Hill" by COL (MG by now?) Dan Bolger to see how a battalion can learn from getting beat up at JRTC. His battalion of the 101st went there in '93, got embarrassed, and lucked into a second go-round the next year. They cleaned up!
FWIW, some exercises are scripted, some are not. The ones with troops involved are often the unscripted command-post exercises or wargames. NTC and JRTC are supposed to be the big exceptions to that rule.
As far as WW2 goes, I'm reading a lot on the Pacific this past few weeks, gaming the East Front, and thinking about the West Front for a future game.
