Actually by "normal people" I mean "normal wargamers", not really "normal" people, but you knew that.

Interesting game. Looks like it could even be fun, or at least possible to turn into a fun game for normal people. Also looks more than a little (Chris) Crawfordian.

it seems like you have to spread a lot of cash around in the game-which is realistic. it does give the game a monopoly feel. : ) it is a fascinating subject that could benefit from a multi-player experience,i.e. "turning" informants,double (triple?) agents that are potential terrorist,etc. LABYRINTH has gotten good reviews and a 2nd printing coming. i like my games to simulate something a bit older-foxbat&phantom and arab israeli wars are the closest era's i enjoy.
