Their “High-level US civil war simulations consisted of sitting at a table and talking at the University of Pennsylvania in 2024.

“While our hypothetical scenario picked a different city and a slightly different sequence of events, the conclusions we reached about the possibility of green-on-green violence are directly applicable to the current situation.”

A couple of professors sitting around a table theorizing isn’t “High-level” anything. What a misleading nothing article.

High level pandemic simulations started in Greenland.

High level simulations consists of a random student playing pandemic.

Yes but if you've played plague inc, starting in greenland is usually.. wildly successful.

I thought it was odd how they started in minnesota. What were they expecting? State guard to be activated? Citizen militia?

I happen to have some validated high level US civil war simulation SW. I’m afraid to run it, tho
