From Jane's [excerpt] CV32: I see a premise for a whole series of scenarios here, in multiple theaters.

Impressive! From Janes [excerpt]

[emphasis mine]

Thanks for telling us a bit about how you went about staving off the 'Great Satan'. You have the basic premise of an after action report here. Hope to see more from you in the future.

Thanks for taking my scenario for a spin. The 'reveal all' keystroke is useful if you're really stuck, or have finished the scenario and want to take a 'behind the scenes' look, but I'd really caution against doing it if you still want to try and keep at winning the scenario. Its a real spoiler.

No one wants to admit they would run from a fight?

I think its rather unlikely that the Russkies would sell any Typhoons to the Chinese. On a related topic, here's a newly released report on Chinese-Russian relations from SIPRI: China's Energy and Security Relations with Russia: Hopes, Frustrations and Uncertainties, by Linda Jakobson, Paul Holtom, Dean Knox and Jingchao Peng, SIPRI Policy Paper no. 29, ISBN 978-91-85114-66-5 (PDF)

The Journal of Electronic Defense itself was always great reading. I highly recommend it.
