cha' DoSmey DIqIp Okrand jIH je'. The "Reflection" of the title refers
to the reflective game, a version of *klinzha* {tlhInja'?} where the
player is playing against himself, forcing him to think several moves
ahead; to "reflect" upon his moves before acting. (Not normally a very
Klingon attribute, but trust me, I've tried this version, and it's good
practice for thinking like a Romulan!) {neSlo' tonSaw'} reads to me like
a squad commander matching his opponent's manoeuvres move-for-move.
Unfortunately, I don't have a better suggestion.
