How does it teach peace exactly?
Its all the skill of real war without the violence. In some cases it was they only way that some countries communicated during the Cold War.
It allows all the intelligence of war without the bloodshed. I only wish political disputes could be solved by the game.
"intelligence of war"??
well at least the battle strategies of ancient tactics.
