Use the sliders to enter the decisions. Ensure that the decisions register as 0.0 or 1.0. Don't use fractional decisions. When decisions are entered, click the play button on the Run Bar. Show or project the effects of the decisions to Military Strength.
Students then discuss and record the consequence of the decisions.
Students then repeat this process, moving from one pair of groups to another. This means that different groups will actually be entering decisions onto the computer each turn. At the end of the simulation, review it with your class. Ask them which tactics and strategies seemed to work and which did not, then relate their experiences to real world events. Direct each team to formulate a set of strategies and tactics which will benefit their nation most.
