[I found a guy with the pirated CM!!! More info in here....]

When I was in Kuwait (May-October 2000), a pirated version of CM was available. $10.

Fortunately, I didn't buy it (though I was temped) cos the pirated software everyone else bought didn't work back in the States.

[US modern ability to mass produce tanks]

The United States has manufactured something on the order of 8000 M-1 series tanks. I think only 2000 are actually in Active and Reserve units. The remainder, minus about 750-1000 or so sold overseas (Kuwait, Saudi, Egypt), are stored at POMCUS sites in Europe, Quatar, Kuwait, Diego Garcia, Okinawa and CONUS.

I don't have firm numbers, though. 8000 heavy tanks should keep the US going for a while, though.
