Computer War
The odds were right for victory. The problem with computer warfare is that the computer is always logical while the human enemy is not – or doesn't have to be. And that's what the Betastani enemy were doing—nothing that the Alphaland computers said they would.<P> Those treacherous foemen were avoiding logic and using such unheard-of devices as surprise and sabotage, treason and trickery. They even had Alphaland's Deputy of Information believing Betastani propaganda without even realizing it.
