During one of our work-up sessions for deployment, we had an 'awesome' little story that evolved outside of the scripted scenarios.
We had a "Nadir Badir" (Nutter Butter is what we liked to slur it to sound like) ID for the scenario who was used by one of our first classes put in charge of 'running' the night OPFOR group. Because he was one of the highest ranking - he also kind of ended up falling into the role of being the contractor representative/"boss."
As the scenarios played out and BLUFOR started trying to run up intel and counter surveillance - they started to stitch together their own idea of what was 'really going on' (probably because they were bored as shit). It was, actually, them who drove the 'meta' of the scenario - we simply played off of what we picked up from them.
'Nutter butter' became some kind of terrorist kingpin (He would deliberately check light-plant generators ahead of a drill for a bomb in a light plant - or something of that nature) - the rest of us were either terrorists, ourselves, or were part of the local population being blackmailed into hostile acts.
The final scenario involved a 'squad' sized attack (we made it into a platoon) ... and 'Nutter Butter' was going to go to have a meeting with the OIC of the compound; where he would initiate the platoon attack by saying: "You think I am contractor... but no... I'm a lead farmer mother ****er!"
At which point - we'd open up with one belt fed automatic weapon and a dozen assault rifles with a few of us running around, pretending to be useful (because they couldn't procure enough rifles and blanks).
Unfortunately - it never went off that way. We saw Nutter Butter heading for the compound (we did not have radios) and were waiting for the signal. Only one position could clearly see the signal (this was known and planned) - which was the automatic gunner. A few minutes later - we hear automatic fire start ripping off - so we start jumping into action.
Ironically - it couldn't have come at a more chaotic time. They had just started running a CBR-D drill and the automatic fire was from a BLUFOR .50 gunner who was told: "There is a helicopter on a bee-line for the compound - what do you do?" - since a guy had, earlier, been pegged for not reporting and shooting at a 'plane' (a piece of paper being held up by a 'red hat' at 200 meters) - the gunner racked and fired.
So, they were all busy getting their MOP gear on in response to the chemical attack when they started taking fire from every angle with multiple perimeter breaches.
To be fair to them - they were given a rather poor site to try and set up for a secure compound and couldn't use nearly as much C-wire as they would have in a real scenario. They'd have chosen a better spot and set up differently (given the time constraints of training)... but it was still a perfect example of why you can't play a purely defensive game.
Had it been a real engagement - we'd have torn them up.
Of course - we also had full knowledge of their weapon systems, capabilities, and were operating with first-hand intel (whereas a more realistic scenario would have us operating largely off of second hand intel with only a small percentage of on-base workers providing information). We knew how to identify what building was what, we knew from our own training what their likely response would be to certain actions... of course - they also knew that no one was -really- going to kill them and knew that all of us who came in as 'contractors' per the scenario were 'the enemy' in regards to intel gathering.
In that regard - they had a huge advantage in knowing when they were 'safe' and when they were not.
In the long run - we had the most unreasonable advantage, though. The biggest one being that we were trained the same way they were.
