Back to the OP...  Newsweek isn't exactly the most rigorous source for military intelligence, but the linked article below does suggest some of the challenges facing NATO reliance on massed concentrations of heavy armor in an environment if you can't clear the skies of enemy recce drones.

Can NATO clear the skies of throw-away Russian recon drones?  I don't know that this question has been answered, but it's not at all clear to me that we are prepared to deal with drones cheaper than artillery shells.

I looked into this game a bit more. Although work does seem to be ongoing, the devs don't seem really too intent on it. Anyone keep up with it any better?

Incredible videos.  Reports say there were injuries, but no deaths.

I do like this show as well - some of it is obviously very scripted like TopGear but his appreciation for the farmers shows through.  As someone who had to work on the family farm every summer I appreciate its humor and honest showing of the farmers lot.

Board gaming - finishing off an excellent game of Colonial Twilight then the difficult choice of whether to establish Great Britain as a republic with Cruel Necessity or just blow shit up with Panzer Command. Decisions, decisions...

You can never go wrong with just blowing $hit up.....
