I know I got on the band wagon for the unsuccessful Singapore campaign a couple of years ago, but I think if possible Venezuela should be given some consideration before this game is closed out. It is well documented that the countries of
S. America over the last several years have been one of the largest importers of arms worldwide. The reason Venezuela and it's government. Just in the last few months a situation was avoided between them and Columbia which could've had consequences for the U.S. Also Russia has been supplying billions in military aid to include a further deal just agreed to a few months back (Included below.). I just completed including the new APC for my final list of this year for Brazil in which they've spent over 1.5 billion dollars on it alone beyond modernization why? Venezuela where there's no real love loss between the two countries. Venezuela is also trying to get nuclear technology from the Russians as well along with it's close ties to Iran. They're a potential flash point much like N. Korea. I would think it'd better the the game and there's my case in a nutshell. I'm not suggesting going back to 1946 and really wouldn't bother with anything before 1990, 1995 but probably not much later than 2000. Yes I would help in finding the equipment available with the references. I wouldn't suggust it otherwise, hey what's one more item? Might as well I even got jets on the list now as well anyway!!! Just a thought for something for to get done over the next couple of years or more.
