If "Mu" picked up a game on the Algerian War, it was by me, as no one else has ever published one on the subject.

You may have read allusions in my blog that someone in the Office of the Secretary of Defense was using this game design as the basis for a predictive model of the Iraqi insurgency. I think, with Rumsfeld's departure (at last!) that this staff member will be too busy revising his resume to follow up on this, which is fine with me (he never bothered to answer my e-mails asking about what exactly he was trying to do). I've also found that a gamer and ex-Marine is using the game as a teaching aid in a class on "Analyzing Insurgency".

High praise, but it doesn't pay the bills. I'm not a tool of the Pentagon yet.
