Almost forgot, there's an extra bit of colour some people might find interesting. Originally there was a scenario that occured before Lesson of War, it was called Toujours Pret, and was a very small fight between elements of the 2nd ACR and elements of the 900th AAB. The introduction to that ...

I actually thought about writing a bit about that but, everyone has their own view and, in the end, the narrative can fit in anyone's view which makes it feel a bit more personal.
