I believe that these games were rigged in the fashion that "what would Saddam do" and he didn't like it!!

Which is why they should let him have a free hand to do what he would. Giving the commander a script can lead to the underestimation of your future enemy's ability.

I disagree. You want a simulation of the enemy at hand, not a copy of your own force. It sounds like Riper wanted to fight like a typical Western commander, not like an Iraqi or Persian commander. A non-Western opponent would be less likely to probe, for example. (Less chance of getting into trouble with your superiors that way!) Thus, they would be more difficult to locate. They would be more likely to break and run. In such a circumstance, a Western force could get over extended in the chase. The non-Western force could then isolate and destroy over-reaching units. You want to simulate these kinds of defensive behaviors in a war game, not aggressive, Western behavior.
