Excellent.

I had forgotten that some of the PanzerCampaign/Modern Campaign stuff was released for tablets. 

I also grabbed the free Modern Air Power for my Kindle Fire and purchased Mideast '67 too, since Amazon had just given me 500 "Amazon Coins" (five dollars).   Should make waiting at the Doctor's Office and other such thumb twiddling pass more quickly.

;D

Hmm...interesting conflict.  This may very well be the only game I've ever seen covering it.

The Operational Art of War had a scenario for it - not a bad one either IIRC, but you are right. This is dedicated to it. BTW is this available on PC too? :)

Bogit I'm pretty sure it is for PC.

There used to be a whole cluster of scenarios in Steel Panthers MBT for Grenada, but I think most (if not all) of them were user made.  It's been a while, but I remember liking them, and I think they may have come from the download section at the Wargamer. 

There were a lot of very interesting Steel Panthers MBT scenarios at the Wargamer (including some very scary ones that felt like they had been written by someone involved in or at least encouraging Bosnian war crimes).  I remember going to look for Steel Panthers MBT scenarios at the Wargamer a few years ago, but a lot of material had simply vanished.

Games on the invasion of Grenada are interesting for because my Dad lives there. He retired and moved there because he found it the friendliest island in the Carribean.
He's taken me around to see where all the "major" battles took place. He's also talked with lots of the locals that were there during that time. Very interesting story when you get inside/local info.

I'll have to get the demo and see what it looks like.... See if I recognize any of the locations.

Love that Gunny Highway, LCpl Fragetti, Aponte and some of the others from Heartbreak Ridge are featured in one of the scenarios. Very cool easter egg.
