Russkies in Oklahoma!

I dont think the Georgians bought any big ticket items just yet, but reports of 200 milion dollars in aid last year, a mix of Israeli and US training and equipment must have shown some changes, even if at only the lower levels, like in infantry weapons and such.

I will go out on my useual limb and state that tanks are specialized beasts (nearly obsolete) and always have been, that fact that SPMBT has lots of other equipment and weapons shows its not just a game about tanks, the fact that man portable weapons can now stop and destroy tanks makes playing the game against tanks a case of getting as much ATGM stuff as possible while covering the bases for others as well.

If a chopper can carry as much firepower as a tanks and is much more maneuverable then why use tanks? ok choppers go down easy but mots games of MBT I play I find that keeping my tanks outta sight until I know its safe is a priority as one man with a missile can smoke it, or things like APCs/BMPs with mounted ATGMs can make it hard and then there is all that new missile mounted stuff in later years.

Most of the WWIII scenarios in the game see hordes of tanks and BMPs rolling across the terrain and if you can get your forces into the right places, choke points and such it becomes a slaughter, of course if the russians dismounted the infantry before rushing in it might be different but the game useally will not play like that.

In an idea for the next tournament is a future war scenario, on special maps, to try and really thrash the ideas out, kinda like gladiators but with various combination's of forces.
