I want to know more about this game board patent: http://nsa-patents.silk.co/page/Game-board-id%3A-D637658 I wonder if they developed it into a full game or prototype at some point. Maybe it was supposed to be used for training purposes? Either way imagining a bunch of NSA guys sitting around playing their version of Cones of Dunshire made my morning.

You might be interested then in sandtable planning/training which is a core process for most Army Infantry and logistics units.
