Looks like a lot of fun....but...
I read (and then re-read) this post and your web site. The mission explanation and the concept looks like it will be a blast to run.
But....
I can't find a release date anywhere. Not in this post and not on your web site. When can we expect to be able to buy this?
A short response to the thread above me from Germany:
Hussein a "bogeyman of government propaganda"? Hmmm. I'd have to disagree with you there. Hussein's record of attrocities and behavior speaks for itself.
Are there other dictators in the world as bad (or perhaps worse)? That is up for debate. The US (and the U.N.) has chosen him as the first target in what will likely be a string of targets that associate themselves with terrorism, seek to cause instability through unprovoked agression, or flaunt the nuclear non-proliferation agreement. Nothing justifies what happened on 9/11 and the US has decided to fight a worldwide fight against terrorism that many nations won't commit to, or don't have the resources to commit to. While it may seem like bullying, at least we are doing something.
And while I understand your point about what it's really like for commandos on a mission, I take offense at the mention of the situation in Mogadishu. Many Americans died there -- regardless of the reason, the mission, or the President's decision to pull any support for them -- doing what they were ordered to do. Our mission there (if you recall) was oirginally to safeguard the food and supplies being sent (by the U.N.) to the citizens of a ravaged country. The warlords there decided they should get the goods, to hell with their own people.
Sometimes our intentions are thrown back in our face.
Sometimes, I would simply like to extricate ourselves from all world affairs. Imagine that: the US starts practicing isolationism (both political and fiscal) again. What would be the result of that, I wonder? Who would truly benefit and who would suffer?
Finally -- lighten up. It's a game, and treating someone like Saddam Hussein as a big baddie in an RPG is nothing more serious than playing in a cold war era RPG where the Russians are the big baddies.
