#3  And it's different from WWII games where you can play the German side as well? The postings on the Web indicate that a player has an option in the multi-player mode. Which then goes back to the point about the NTC and the OPFOR.

It just means AAFES loses the sales which then go to Amazon et al.

#2  That is ban the sale of the game on base IIUC.

I have a difficult time getting worked about this. The military can allow whatever it wants to be available at bases and that is not new.

Tasetless, sure. Gimmic, likely. Its the kind of gimmic a game manufacturer does when their product is generic and/or unimaginative. I hear if ya set the difficulty to easy you play the same taliban mission and level only against hajii'b womyns to capture young boys.

#1  So, by logical extension we should terminate the OPFOR at the NTC for using opposition doctrine and tactics to train our people in simulated force on force actions.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
