Comment on Mixed strategy Nash equilibrium

I think you're making a distinction between one-shot and iterated games. This is a different distinction than that between mixed and non-mixed strategies. You can have a mixed strategy equilibrium in a one-shot game, as in both the swords-n-armour example and the attack/defend East/West example.

So: if the game is one-shot (and you can see the current distribution), the right decision depends only on the current distribution, as you said.
