I've been playing a tactical sim, HPS Soviet Afghan War. A guy did a mod for it, called "The Long War", turning this sim into something covering the war in Afghanistan as it is today. (Don't want to see this thread turning into a political rant either!)
In the mission I'm playing now, a French Recon group has been ambushed by the Taliban. 3 vehicles have been hit, two of these were destroyed by land mines, the third has been damaged by an RPG. Help is on the way, but I've got to hang on until they arrive. I have on call, some fixed wing air support. They include an AC130, where I can call on them for assistance 3 times. (Just to add more tension to this mission, there is a suicide bomber approaching the column!)
My other asset is one mission for a F15E. The F15 is designated this way, a F15E wFAB. The thing I'm wondering is, what does FAB mean? Been out of the military for 36 years now, and can't recall what it means,lol
On a side note, there is a mission for the Brits. They have a small armored column that is tasked with clearing out an area held by the Taliban. They have a TV crew embedded with them, and your orders say they must be protected at all costs. My question is, why?LOL
