This reminds me of "wars" kids in my neighborhood would have when I was about ten years old. Each group of kids would think up highly elaborate plans of subterfuge, sophisticated camouflage, and spying, that, when executed, basically consisted of throwing some moldy walnuts over a fence at the other groups of kids.
What they both have in common are groups of children with too much time on their hands.
