| This is an old article (13.April), but a visit to the 13.-15.April archives didn't turn it up, so I'm posting the link. Too long to post the article here in entirety and too much good info to summarize effectively and do it justice. Just go read it! This battle makes Duke Nukem sound like a bona fide combat simulator. |

| #3 It's bad operationally because the objectives can be connected thru the names. That's why for D-day they had sword, gold, juno and utah beaches. Randomly assigned, meaningless to anyone not in the loop. |

| #2 One Op I was on had objectives Coors, Miller and Budweiser. Also had PL Tavern, PL Barfight, and the LOD PL Chug. The LTC in charge loved beer I guess (he was a vietnam combat vet)... Then again, that was "back in the day" - I dont think they allow them to use such stuff now. |
