Quote: Balschoiw Well.... I've had two tours in Iraq as light machine gunner in a Mechanized Infantry company. I've been shot at with AK's, PKM's, DSHK's, RPG's, mortars & rockets and other shit, been hit by an IED, lost a platoon commander from our company in an IED attack, I've arrested bad guys, shot at insurgents/bad guys, seen dead & injured people/children, I've seen starved children/women getting the crap kicked out of 'em by their fathers/uncles/brothers and lots of other shit which you could never imagine. Do I feel disgusted if a game tries to re-enact the war in Iraq? No I don't. Would I like to visit the place again in "virtual reality" on my pc? Yes I would. Do I bash mod-makers for not making 100% real-to-life maps of a given area? Again it's a big NO! You want to know why? Okay.... It's because this is only a GAME!! I can tell the difference between real life and games, I know better than most people in here that war can be hell, but I sure as hell liked being down there! And yes, sometimes I enjoy taking a motorcycle ride on my favourite Iraq-style map and take a few shots at the little f***'ers... A lot of my army buddies feel the same way that I do about this, and a lot of them also play OFP, we all live normal lives and have girlfriends/wifes - were not psycho's or anything, we've just accepted that somethings in life are just f***ed up and there's nothing you can do about it so 'ya might as well get the best out of it...

Instead of a large paper map, why not make an escape & evasion style map in cloth (silk perhaps) like the one's the guys from Bravo 2 Zero had sewn in their pants (Remember the book by Andy McNab?) I bought one as a souvenir at the end of my first tour in Iraq.....

How about instead of an ammo box, the game and all the contents are stuffed inside an old UAZ - I bet you can get them used for a good price!!

It's fake, @mods please delete....

1: Big map of Sahrani (Possibly military-style with AO marked and other points of interest). 2: Satellite images of North Sahrani military installations. 3: PRC-117 Military Satcom style case that contains the CE contents 4: Armor/plane recognition cards (Don't know what you call 'em in english) with silhouettes/statistics of friendly/enemy armored vehicles/air assets. 5: Postcards from Sahrani (Possibly "written" by William Porter?) 6: Army watch with green velcro strap and ArmA logo inside the watch casing. 7: Special DVD casing with the BIS teams autographs. I think the T-Shirt is a bad idea unless you make them all size XXL - I mean, there ARE some people (Like me) who's almost 6'6" (197cm) tall and can't fit a t-shirt size L....
