If the whole Sidewinder thing was just a fake scenario, why did Gamma (an AI with a TIME DISTORTION UNIT) have to run the scenario? Why not Omega? Why not Delta? If the TDU is completely irrelivent, then surely any AI could have ran the scenario.

Tucker's sword stopped him from being affected by Wyoming's use of the TDU. Then Church himself pointed out that when he travelled back in time, he left a bunch of copies. Which is then confirmed when they look under Red Base to see a large group of Wyoming copies. Then one of the copies then tells the Blues about the big plan before Tex shoots him. If he was just a "fake" Wyoming, why would he need to have knowlege of the big plan? He would just be there for cannonfodder. So Wyoming did actually use the TDU to copy himself (confirmed by Tucker's ability to remember failed timelines), then Church's statement about leaving a bunch of copies, would pretty much mean his time travel experience would be confirmed to be real as well, bacause if one time paradox can be real, why can't both?

Killing Flowers with Asprin, sending Donut to Blue Base where he "steals" the Flag, renaming the tank from FILSS to Sheila, being responsible for Caboose blowing him up, leaving the sniper rifle for Caboose to snipe Sarge in the head, reconfiguring the Teleporter to scatter the Reds & Blues across the galaxy (but convieniently sending Grif and Church to Sidewinder), then meeting a group of copies who have done the exact same thing... as well as more things.

What we must remember is, science can't copy an AI, but as season 16 has confirmed, time travel isn't science... It's magic, and with magic, so long as you don't destroy the very fabric of reality, there are no rules. Example:

John Wayne stars in Jax Jonez's movie as: Mark Temple.
