I'm going to step in pre-emptively here and point out that the tactical
/ logistic etc factors 
involved in *any*  of the 'big guy vs little guy' wars on Earth have
little direct relevance to 
FT/GZG games. This isn't the place for protracted discussions about
earth's recent 
conflicts. Could we keep it fairly close to target please - the physics
of ortillery or 
general discussions about the resources available to colonists I can
live with but the 
relative tactical merits of the Afghans, Kuwaits, Vietnamese, Albanians
or anybody else 
isn't what we're here for. Thank you.
