Backwards.  Colonial Forces with a single brigade or
division responsible for an entire planet probably
live and die by Semper Gumby!

Why not?  After all, while it's not quite that
extreme, look at the deployments of 10th Mountain from
upstate New York to Somalia, Haiti, Afghanistan. . .
And the 25th sent units to Cobra Gold (exercise in
Thailand) and then off to Afghanistan, and they are
primarily tasked to support the war in Korea when it
breaks out again.

I don't like the 459 point price of a first-class size
4 tank.  Size 3 is the workhorse of my force.
