Now let's not get all patriotic here.  We are talking about modern
forces,
if I want to get historic I can think up a few British screw ups as
well.
actually quite a few, you Brits have had your noses in every piece of
territory in the world :-) . Let's see Anglo-Dutch Wars, American
Revolution, Boer War, War of 1812,  WWII anytime before the US was
involved
and you lost more troops against Argentina then we did the entire Gulf
War.
Besides all that trash, I believe that troop quality level it modeled
very
well in the game.  Have you ever noticed that even with the chits there
to
remind people, they forget anyway?  I really don't think it's a problem.
Anyway, I drive offensively.  I figure with all those defensive drivers
out
there, someone has to do it.  I guess that would make me better than 95%
of
other drivers! ;-)
