Yes.

Also I think that while playing this game I have learned more about AFVs and military history than some people will learn all their lives. And I had a good amount of knowledge prior to this. When I play scenarios I very often top and save to go online and find details of the real battle behind them. When I run into a particularly good piece of kit I go to research it. Heck, doing the Israeli OOB thing taught me more in 2 weeks about Israeli Patton and Centurion Variants than I learnt in dozens of visits to Latrun and hours spent asking old tankers about their service.
