Not in years, or to put it another way, not since I switched to  
tactical skirmish gaming for the most part.

Most of those sorts of match-ups I have played out with smaller scale  
forces. Lo-tech spec-ops with anti-material rifles and command	
detonated mines (both traditional and off-route) ambushing higher  
tech forces.

Mostly it turned in to your typical asymmetric warfare situations,  
using planing and ruthless exploitation of manpower to inflict	
significant casualties in the high tech force.

These sort of scenarios don't play out well in the CD series of games.
