Interesting point, but I would rather not have a guy in a spree shooting be able to fire twenty rounds before having to reload.

Re CdG going into Toulon; it might get deployed off West Africa if the Mali op goes on.

1. That needs two boards? 2. Ultimately, Iran loses heavily in any military confrontion with the West - any damage it caused would be at the loss of pretty much its entire air force and navy. The game isn't frankly worth the candle for them.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations, Mark!

Had a skim through the stuff. Most of its political, but there is a discussion on attacking 25 de Mayo in there. A lot of the military stuff has probably been retained; as there are still T42s and Harriers in service in the UK or allied nations.

The War Cabinet discussions of the 1982 conflict have been released: http://nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/cab-highlights-1982.htm

Worth noting that 'London' was a lot smaller back in then (in terms of administrative area), although this covers some of the surrounding districts. My area, including RAF Hornchurch falls just outside this survey.

Very interesting. Thanks!

Great looking new skin!

Glad to hear it. Please sign up on the forum and contact me through there.

I think you're right! One thing is for sure, the Russkies have a lot of submarine salvage experience to draw upon!. FWFS, Greg I wasn't talking about them sinking - I was talking about poorly shielded reactors on those classes...

I thought K-19 (a "Hotel") was the "Widowmaker" - not to say that the HENs weren't dangerous subs to serve on.

Thanks for the link. RIA always puts that ABM Treaty comment in those stories, I believe.

Regarding piracy, I think it's monsoon season. Also attacks are way down on last year.

I'm down to only three players here and need at least one more to make this game viable. If I don't get one by year's end, I'll end it.

Excellent stuff! The noise of the Deltas is why they were kept close to the USSR for better protection from submarines.

Worth remembering that Little Boy didn't 'destroy' Hiroshima - about a quarter of the city's buildings survived.

Impressive achievement for any nation.

Indeed, great stuff!

It's just a general comment - Hamas is now saying over 100 dead on their side.

One of course should be wary of any casualty figures delivered by an official spokesperson on either side - casualty figure over-reporting (and indeed under-reporting) goes back to at least Dresden, where Goering added an extra zero to the death toll in the official report.
