What is a behavioral simulation?
Issue operational orders
Operational reports
Events(incidents…)
Mission orderfor non-playeragents
Simulated agents execute their missionwith respect to the doctrinereacting in front of dynamic eventsissuing appropriate orders to their subordinatesreporting on current situation
