Artificialities and constraints, such as the Assembly Area, may detract from realism. Some other artificialities include the following:

Surrogates may be playing in place of some key decision makers

Real distances may be reduced to fit play location constraints

The exercise will be played in real time. However, there may be some time jumps or acceleration to meet certain objectives
