This is sounding like it's going to be another brilliant game. You should do a Loose AfriCon weekend some time

In fairness, that's not setting the bar terribly high.

And Manchester can offer you immortality when the Google Street view car catches you getting a cheap wank from a bored tart.

Thanks for another terrific day of fun guys.
Just a few thoughts on possible rule tweaks.
Troop quality : Nothing too complex, maybe +1 to hit for elites and -1 for militia.
Mortars and grenade launchers. I didn't really like the idea that "Anything but a 1" is a direct hit. Perhaps 2-4 should scatter.
RPGS etc. Are the ranges a bit too long? Unless you're deploying guided stuff like Milans or TOWs I think that they should be much more up close and personal. Keep them common but tone them down.

To contain the Armoured Fist tendency maybe next time we could have a mini Kursk before the real game. The tankies clash in the bush and after a fast and furious engagement only the survivors get to town.
