The Ka-29 is a chopper that can easily be adapted to the roles usually performed by the UH-1 however.Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368656294215705839.post-4214196988941205832010-10-22T14:21:15.779-07:002010-10-22T14:21:15.779-07:00I think you are dead on with the scale and type of...I think you are dead on with the scale and type of military equipment available for such a country as you have created. I particularly enjoy the selection of choppers although I am surprised they have not purchased some of the early UH model Hueys from American resellers for scouting and light weight military purposes.Game Master Rob Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198920658123610173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368656294215705839.post-49361757130650130832010-10-22T12:21:47.650-07:002010-10-22T12:21:47.650-07:00True the Gulf War tanks didn't do well, but th...True the Gulf War tanks didn't do well, but they were also lesser "monkey models" and ill-equipped.<br /><br />I know that numbers do not count, but I was really speaking on an economic level. A large fleet of tanks costs regardless of the quality of your troops.Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368656294215705839.post-47680044216158339352010-10-22T11:55:56.147-07:002010-10-22T11:55:56.147-07:00True, but when it comes to tanks it really is qual...True, but when it comes to tanks it really is quality that counts over quantity. Not just in the tanks themselves, but in the skill of the crews. Just look at the repective armour kills in Gulf War I.Dangerous Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494853825931603065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368656294215705839.post-49512201660612075812010-10-22T11:15:09.338-07:002010-10-22T11:15:09.338-07:00Brian,

I am also surprised just how many tanks some smaller countries can seem to afford.Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368656294215705839.post-20827068208141483432010-10-22T11:05:02.126-07:002010-10-22T11:05:02.126-07:00I continue to enjoy the rationale behind Alcovia&...I continue to enjoy the rationale behind Alcovia's weapon acquisition. Being a small country, it probably can't afford to design it's own vehicles outright. But it takes far fewer resources for a country to modify standard designs to better suit it's own requirements- especially when some nations (Russia in particular) have a habit of stripping out all the electronics from their export models.<br /><br />Rivetting stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing more,Dangerous Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494853825931603065noreply@blogger.com
