Like they say, Write what you know. He also did Limits of Glory, about
Waterloo. I had it kinda pegged as the late 80s--still had Vulcans,
but the M-1s weren't vanilla. Although I'm ordering M-163s for my
M-1A2 batallion based on aesthetic considerations--Avengers look goofy,
and GHQ doesn't yet have the air defense Bradleys out.
