Security simulation

When I started the simulation, I thought the game was going to be much easier to win than expected, but I was wrong. It was all about having balance to try not to have a war or maybe have a war to eliminate threats. Even though this simulation was about security, I believe in our simulation it was more about competition. I believe this because every would raise their army so people were forced to raise theirs too. For example, I was in group 4 for this simulation and we had the advantage for maximizing our troops and artillery but could barely get anything for ships and planes and since everyone else was trying to get many troops we were king of forced to make more troops to even up with them. I mean if the groups in our simulation focused more on security and make it our goal, we all could've just send each other economic units to even up with each other on troops, artillery, ships, and planes. That way everyone wins. However, I do think its much more fun to have competition because with security, all groups could've easily won, if everyone was being reasonable. I think it went out this way since it was simply going to be fun that way, and nobody really wanted an easy, boring way to way the game.
