i think the target zone on the helicopter is an excellent idea. in real life as you said a lucky shot will bring one down. the helicopter had wwaaayyy too much life span ranging around the highlands.it should be given a specific mission time length. like ten minutes maybe then have to leave for a set amount of time. it completely cleared the highlands for probably 30 minutes. way too long ina pb game. i dont objest to its existence just moderate it to some semblance of a real life situation.
as far as rpgs for the somalis, i didnt think we could use non-field weapons. if we cant use non field stuff, they should be made available to us. i dont know if tat would entail having to set up some sort of chain of command anda budget for the somalis for the game. i know the somalis are not supposed to be real well organized , but in the real situation they did have rpgs and other weapons other than riffles.

The only reason it was so easy to move from the village up to archie and beyond was because we were out numbered so we retreated to form another defense line. The village was a lost cause but it helped very much. At night I never saw a somali near the helicopter which was the alamo. We held it for two hours with no contact at the base it self. I could hear some fire and I heard about a sniper and a spotter moving around but never hit the helicopter.

Also the rangers gained a ton of points at the end of the first session with the mile. We used the tank to walk from West Point all the way to the exit. We got the majority of the team out alive. Thank you who ever brought that tank with treads.

Thanks for posting this man, I'm going to print some copies...

Yes, but events have the dual thermal lens like JT's have. My JT's and Events have NEVER fogged on me, whereas, everytime i strap on my profilers, its guaranteed fog/condensation

how are we cheaters?....
