And thats why you'd never succed as Afghani farmer Hiro 
As long as the decadent west is buying the Heroin it has no effect on the farmers, they aren't the ones jacking it up into their veins, and you don't even need to look after them, poppies are hardy plants. And you can just grow what you need for yourself.
Trying to go to market in a country as fubar as Afghanistan is probably more dangerous then picking up an AK and storming a fortified position.
Actually weren't they rebuilding the two Buddhas which were destroyed by the Taliban? I'd like to see those when they were finished and its returned to a stop on the hippy trail....
Cheers for the info Lorcan, havent played the game in years sadly, and last time I dug out my PS it refused to work, but I might buy the GC version, one of the few games I thought lived up to the hype in the past decade.

Actually Iran buys a lot of it. I think they have 30,000 addicts.

Iran is a suprising nation. It may seem to be a repressive theological regime but it is something of a dichotomy.
Iran does indeed have a very high number of drug adicts. But it also has one of the most progressive drug treatment programs in the world (where a few years ago they executed anyone in possession of heroin).
Skiing is a favourite passtime among the middle classes.
Rhinoplasty is very common. Iranian women it seems are as vain as any others but when the only part of your body that is seen in public is your face - that is what gets fixed.
Unmarried women are not allowed to watch football matches. (That also recently changed - married women are now allowed to attend).
Invitro research is relatively advanced and unfettered by law.
While poltically it is a nation divided between reformers and religious conservatives, the nuclear power issue is uniting Iranians against the outside world.

Something to chew on.
Now can we get back on-topic? Politics and real-world situations in a game that is supposed to reflect real-world battlefields?

As someone earlier in the thread was bandying this claim I thought I'd post this story from BBC news today

I always thought that the Soviets had more conventional (land) power? Leading to a NATO doctrine of initiating nuclear combat if the tanks rolled over from the east?Alexb83 said:
Tanks are vulnerable to AT weapons, but this doesn't make them useless. Just ask yourself the question.. if you'd have to advance in a urban combat zone, would you rather have tanks with you or not? Tanks can be suppressed with small arms fire, but so can the AT missile teams too
On destroying buildings/terrain features. I hope they make occupying buildings more of an asset and a lot less dangerous than in current SST. In Old Epic this whole building destroying thing got really out of hand.. people blasted apart any buildings in their own deployment zone and then moved into the rubble with infantry, it was just too dangerous to occupy intact buildings! I'd definitely not want to see SST/BF:EVO move into that direction.
Isn't moving through (intact) buildings dangerous for tracked vehicles? The building might collapse or a track might break?
Actually Soviet land power was far superior to anything NATO could have mobilized.
The Svoiet plan of attack involved a true tank rush (Yes just like a computer game) straight to the atlantic when you just cant go furter than a spanish beach.
NATOs defense plan was to sacrifice Germany and turn it into a nuclear wasteland. France had specific short range nuclear missiles to deal exactly with this situation.
Tanks are useful. Theyre alot cheaper than a chopper. Carry comparable ammunition and last potentially longer in a straight up fight. Tanks can form battlelines choppers cant. But nothing is better than a choppper at giving fast and deadly support in an open engagement. 16 AT Hellfires come on every Apache, if you forego the FFAR.
And yes i hope destroying buildings shouldnt be turned into an offensive weapon. 40k was the king of that, it was actually better to stand on a bunker than inside one. Cause you could lose models inside a destroyed bunker, no rules for those on top, as well as no FAQ mentioning that....
Well actually i hope that you can do so. But only with serious firepower (one shot from a tank aint enough to make it crash down) and that occupying buildings should be a real asset. Like they give far more cover bonus than rubble form a dead building.

wouldn't have been much use at the fulda gap or anywhere north of it though, the terrain is flat with no mountain passes.

you said to seal mountain passes, there are no mountain passes north of the czech border to seal!
