Another superb article dealing with the topic. I want to design scenarios like the firefight in Reynosa but the lack of Mexican OOb is frustrating.

The quote that makes me want to design scenarios is this:
"The outgunned Mexican law enforcement authorities face armed criminal attacks from platoon-sized units employing night vision goggles, electronic intercept collection, encrypted communications, fairly sophisticated information operations, sea-going submersibles, helicopters and modern transport aviation, automatic weapons, RPG’s, Anti-Tank 66 mm rockets, mines and booby traps, heavy machine guns, 50 [caliber] sniper rifles, massive use of military hand grenades, and the most modern models of 40mm grenade machine guns."
So in essence it is a platoon-level street combat between small forces. Is that a workable scale in the game?
