(…) the game calls upon players to exercise diplomatic and informational instruments of power, both unilaterally and through intergovernmental organisations, such as the ONZ, NATO and the EU. Byron HARPER – Ph.D., Deputy, Partnership Division NATO Special Operations Headquarters The very well written Poland based Scenario can easily be adopted to the needs and political structures of other countries. Sönke MARAHRENS – Colonel (GS), Director COI Strategy and Defense The European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats Żakowska, Drab and Klasa highlight the key insight that aggressor nations around the world are employing information-centric warfare and information operations to overwhelm intelligence analysis, sub- vert national decision-making processes, and clutter international venues for dispute resolution.
