French combat operations in the Central African Republic. Would make a nice scenario to game.

Very cool footage.  I had no idea the French were on the ground engaging rebels in Central Africa this recently.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

The weapons firing around 3:35 sound quite heavy...any idea what they are? Assuming some kind of heavy machine gun.

Sounds like the 25mm gun on a the VBCI (a French IFV). Its the Giat M811. Basically, a Bushmaster.

I think if I ever heard that in real life I would crap myself. The couple of times I have been to a range, people around me brought some really heavy-sounding pieces and they were...impressive, to say the least. To face that in real life, on the opposite end...I can't imagine.
