Man and midges involved in psychological warfare? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
mind games
'psychological warfare?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'man and midges involved' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'man' put after 'midges' is 'midgesman'.
'midgesman' with letters rearranged gives 'MIND GAMES'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
