Battlefront.com Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Are you kidding? Grenada is great! You get a small group of paras, who find out that their equipment is crap, their Intel is worse, and the enemy is nearly impossible to find. But the babes at the University... now THERE is an Objective worth taking Seriously Grenada was an important military operation for the post-Vietnam US military. So snickering and side comments (like mine ) don't do the operation justice. But for a CM level game, not a good pick Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoat Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Paras? Are you saying Clint Eastwood made a movie about Marine Recon just so you could call them "paras"? I'm more a fan of Nicaragua, 1921. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a legend, a Soviet tv news reader was fired because she accidentally said that US forces had invaded Granada... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I seem to recall - and I could be really REALLY wrong on this - that the Granada invasion resulted in more U.S. combat casualties than the whole of Desert Storm 1! I think I've still got some old news coverage of the thing on a VCR tape somewhere. Was not exactly the most efficiently run operation. Between Granada and Lebanon the Reagan admin didn't leave office with a particularly impressive military record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emar Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Grenada!, Cool, now with a little modding we can do some "Operation Just Cause" scenarios too. Can someone mod the church Noriega was hiding out in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juan_gigante Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 The birds chirping would do the job... I think that "Just Cause" is a really bad name for a small-intervention type operation. When I first saw that, I thought "Operation Just Because". I don't know about you, but "just because" is not the image I want to give with my military operations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
