I got an offer to go play OPFOR for 2 weeks training a foreign country's army in MOUT tactics. But alas, I am disappointed because the dates collide with a preplanned, prepaid vacation! My daughter would kill me. NO AMMO FOR YOU! !!!  Maybe I'll get lucky and another good mission will pop up in July. I need a break from my corporate humdrum IT job. |
HAHAH! I actually tried playing that game till I said to myself, to have that much fun in the real Army, you've gotta wait around till youre ready to die. Hurry up and wait no less! I get enough of that during duty "weekends" (read 3-4 days), ATs, SRPs, etc.... |
They usually do pretty goopd seeing as they know EXACTLY what you are going to do. The opfor unit in Hoehenfels Germany was pretty good. Then again a light infantry Airborne Bat against Armor is never a fair fight anyway. |
That next rotation starts on Wednesday. You can borrow my rifle and MILES, you can use my COB gear, you can drive the Mad Max Blazer. I'll take that vacation.  If you really want to play OPFOR come back for the HICs vs. 4th ID coming up this summer. The DATs are in a tizzy, they need armor help. |

You're with the 221st? Which troop? I'm looking at coming down on the free-play stage of the next rotation after the STXs are finished. (Not least I left my boots down there when I visited last week and need to pick them up again). Considering the 4th ID rotation, but I don't think I can really take a tank or a platoon for just a week in that situation. NTM |
