The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded a £2 billion contract to Skyral, a consortium that will use virtual gaming worlds to train British soldiers. The simulations replicate real cities and countries, allowing soldiers to 'game out' complex decisions in realistic environments. One such simulation, set in Riga, Latvia, involves a NATO convoy under attack by an unknown enemy.
