A different way to win a battle

So you are a Platoon Commander on the border between South West Africa and Angola in the late 1980's, you have a very good, highly trained and experienced platoon, supported by a mortar section.

Re: Campaign Experience

I would always prefer at least some loose approach to realism, its just the way I am.

But they will fire at a Hellfire armed drone yes?

Re: Was the Type 99 Antiaircraft Sight ever Used?

In the 1980's in the British Army we were certainly taught to fire just about anything, and everything, against enemy Helos. On excercise I recall coys occasionally blazing away at jets with blanks...

Re: Campaign Experience

I watched Fury only once, but I am pretty sure they didn't stay put to defend their tank. They stayed there to stop a massacre against a supply unit or something.[/QUOTE]

Re: game Preferences settings

I think know you are being shot at by small arms or a tank/anti tank gun is okay to know, since that is realistic, but not much more than that.

Re: Silver Lions are coming to Poland!

Without, I hope, getting too political I think a lot of the US/NATO - Russian problems, at the moment, are largely manufactured. Largely for historical reasons I support the NATO defence of Poland....

Btw, I also think there is a strong case for UK expanding the excellent Gurkha Rifles to a full brigade.

Special Air Service

Just wondering why, in the game this unit starts in 1944, rather than November 1941 (in the Western Desert) as it did historically?
