>>36552921I think a variety of exercises will be set in place, such that both sides get to engage in battles at a disadvantage, on equal ground, and with an advantage.
So, for example, there might be an exercise where a Black Fleet corvette is massively outnumbered and put in a bad position against raiding ships, and the goal is simply to "sink" (training ammunition will be used) as many Matiyotl ships as possible before being overrun.
There could be an exercise where the "game" begins with a boarding action with even numbers of Deadbeat marines engaging Matiyotl raiders, where the outcome could go one way or another.
Or you could have a "game" a Matiyotl vessel is put in a disadvantageous formation relative to a more powerful Deadbeat fleet and their only goal is to escape against all odds.
So, it's not like all the exercises will use the same power asymmetry found in the real engagements, since the military forces should be trained to approach disadvantageous fights as well. Does that make sense?
