    Not necessarily- it depends on what's blocked and what's not.
    Specific ports may be blocked while others may not.

    Check if these games work or not first.
    We've had other users deployed in Afghanistan or Iraq and while there were other issued this never seemed to be one of them.

    Hopefully someone who's been there can chime in, but you'll probably get more help by chatting up the guys there, seeing if you can get to be friends with the techies running the networks and such.
