Yup, there is actually some truth to that statement.  There is an article some where written about a scenario the cadets participated in.

Yep.  The artical Superfly refers to was posted on "The Wargamer" at http://www.wargamer.com and refers to the cadets' participation as LW command staff during Hostile Shores.  
They also were the Allied command staff during Big Week.
