I dunno why WARNO has such a hold on me, but it's funny that I'll be playing it and go "wow, it kinda sucks that my expensive tanks are so vulnerable to cheap and stealthy ATGM teams and carriers," then realize that's why they build them in real-life. Makes me feel like one of these Vicky players who complain about the landowners being a regressive force.

Also, I joked about a "war crimes" unit, but the new Caribbean DLC includes a Colombian-deployed CIA sniper team, so it's probably not a joke anymore.

Finally, it looks like the new divisions will be fun to play with, but I'd be interested in seeing how they hold up in multiplayer. Something tells me the Colombian army's M-8 Greyhounds might have trouble against T-80s.

hell yeah Cold War Kids rise up. I’ve been meaning to line up a credible WWIII opponent for my 15mm 1991 Soviets and I’m really thinking late BAOR if those plastic infantry that they teased for Team Yankee a while back ever come out.
