Fallout Re: The FASTBOAT Patch page.

I was referring to getting the M1A1 FEP tanks "squared away" but, Don and I had this discussion also when I first started posting on USMC PLAN 2030, so to quote the late great Yogi Berra "It ain't over until it's over" and that's the way we're looking at the USMC MBT situation. Wait and see. Until then, enjoy them in the game.

Also as a side note; within the next month or so, we're likely to know the status of the UK MBT's & APC's. UK MOD is looking to get leaner and more flexible as well and it might cost them their heavy armor and possibly more to a lesser degree as noted above.

COVID is costing the the major economies billions of dollars and something has to give and to some extent that means military budgets.

I will have many posts on equipment where COVID is concerned as I post them.

Regards,
Pat
