What happened in Iraq when the first 3 or 4 british choppers were shot down by US units ?

And 4 years later, both brits and yanks are still fighting on the same side.

This is a game where, in the same country, you'll find the chinese, middle eastern "freedom fighters", US forces AND europeans fighting ?
I think we've clearly left any possibilities of history behind, here

a better way to approach the game would have been to come up with a make beleave land...where make beleave countries are fighting with 2018 Earth Technology...once you introduce real countries that have histories...those histories bear on the game...
but for the sake of gaming...I will play along...

I think I'll view this game like the Ace Combat PS2 games. They all feature real life planes, but its entirely fictional nations fighting.

Given that china has virtually no ability to project force outside their immediate neighbours, that seems the most likely option.
then how would the EFTF get to the BFEvo battlefield...they too have no ability to project their forces...looks like it would have be somewhere that the EFTF could access via a land corridor...so it cannot be western China...
ack...I forgot...whatever the capability of one of the forces in BFEvo is today...that has no bearing on the game...so everyone is a super power in 2018...

yeah, the German troops deployed in Afghanistan had to borrow foreign transports to get there
The French have significant projection ability to my knowledge. I'd imagine the same for Spain and Italy. Everyone else needs a lift.
But then, if we're assuming a european commonwealth, everyone would rely on the brits and french to get us there.

:shock: ...ye gods! dunno, i'm yet to meet such people, and all the public polls made suggest that there is very little in way of resenment left. oh ,sure, we are pissed about what the Germans did those 50...200 years ago, and the communist propaganda mercilessly showed the (western, the eastern germany were our comrades :roll: ) germans as constantly plotting to take away our lands. i think that if there was such resentment, the joining of EU did great job to diminish it-hell, poles are one of the biggest EU enthusiast out there 8) .about the only people really thinking in historical terms still are our beloved PIS(S) party(mr.president, and mr.prime minister), and all the other hard-right parties.
of course it doesn't mean when the german ruling party does something incredibly stupid, like forcing the under--baltic pipeline building, it won't cause reaction in poland.
it doesn't mean that such people does not exist, just like there are people thinking that jews rule the world etc. nonsense, and yeah, the general attitude for different nations can differ(as DM demonstrated :wink: ), the history can't be cast away like that, but most people by now, id guess, are aware that the history should stay history. we have russians to worry about now :wink: :lol:
but it gets a bit ot here,doesnt it?

Inded it does.
Getitng back on topic, LAW80 has just been removed from the inventory of the British Army and is being rpelaced with NLAW at section level. (pity in a way 'cos in my experience LAW80 was a fun weapon!)

I think it's funny you're arguing over the EFTF union when the MEA is a far less likely alliance. Either way it's a game, and having lots of factions ruins the game. They are logically chosen and a good fiction writer can do wonders for weaving tales of unity. Tradgic events and common enemies have a way of galvenizing people and putting petty squabbles aside.
Paladin...you hit that right on the money...the MEA would be an absolute basket case...much more of a problem than the EFTF...but since I have no intention of purchasing or using such in a game...I did not address that issue...in my opinion the MEA should have been replaced by the Russians...
if this game is going to use real world powers...the history of those powers and a projected history of 12 years should have been used to come up with a logical battlefield and logical combatants...
I look at it as a fantasy...where aliens of different factions of the planet "Copycat"...have come to earth and taken our technology...improved ita bit...and have gone to war...war on the planet Copycat using Earth 2018 technology...
with regards to the faction I will go with...I am sadly droping the Brits from the top of my list...it seems to me from all the posts here...that various capabilities of the EFTF will fall to the the Germans and French...which casts some doubt that an all Brit army will be competitive...so my first investment will be the PLA...followed by the U.S. with I hope the release of the Rangers...
looking ahead...the projection of power ability will have the U.S. in a 10 to 1 advantage over the EFTF and a 50 to 1 advantage over the MEA and PLA...so on a startegic level the game is over...the U.S. wins...that said the advantage is greatly reduced if the waring powers have land access to the battlefield...and the logical place for that battlefield is roughly Turkmenhstan...the EFTF could access via Turkey...the U.S. via Iran...the PLA via Kazakhstan...and the Russians via Kazakhstan...
just some thoughts...again all that said...I have been waiting for a company level moder warfare pre-painted game for a long time...so I am in...
