Yes but know for instance the correct range to engage M1s with T72s does help a under equiped nation prepare its self. Also knowing the formational structure and tacticial doctrine greatly helps a nation prepare for war. Also choices such as whether to engage tanks which you cannot destroy vs APC's which you can easily kill, can often turn the tide of a modern battle. Tactical doctrine in allot of smaller countries is whoefully lacking, knowing when and how to fight was how the Vietcong were able to defeat the US, and how the Afgans defeated the USSR.
As to your lame comment about the SIS, why would they care, making such software violates no NZ export laws.
A group of friend here in New zealand are developing glp licensed "battlefield simulation software". This would allow poorer nations greater understanding of the weaponary, that a more hightech foe such as the US might use against them. The aim was to reduce the treat of imperilism by, by making casualities more prevailant on the hightech side. There are currently 17 of us involved, with backgrounds varying from New Zealand Army, to wireless communications experts. Open source software sould be used to breakdown the barriers between the haves and have nots, not increase them.

I find the same thing here in New Zealand, with the non discolsure policy that the US has with reguards tto G.E. food causing many people here to boycott all US made food. We are now testing all incoming shipment of corn for contamination. After all no one wan Monsanto to decide what your children have for breakfast.
