2.7.81, yes.

The last bit ...? I'm afraid I don't understand, please clarify...

So how are you going to deal with the fact that if the guerillas ever took control that the U.S. would show up in a very big way?

I think that, ottok, you refer to the objetive points that doesn't work very well in MGE

@DarthVeda: I'm not taking that into account - I reached the conclusion that
1. The Americans didn't show up immediately and very forcefully in Cuba, American intervention is excluded in this scenario. I don't think the Americans would engage in an open full-scale jungle war against guerillas in Colombia. There is American activity, not intervention.
2. It would simply be too difficult to do, manage, take up too much events space.

@yaroslav: Yes, I've been complaining a lot about that too, and I've taken it into account this time: there will exclusively be single objective cities (possible more with wonders, but no "Major objective cities").

I hereby declare the scenario 99% finished! I only need a little final playtesting (by myself) to test if the changes I made after the other playtests are working...

I might just add that there is a fourth events file series. US Radar Posts and IRA/ETA assistance for FARC has been added!

That's good, can't wait to play

If either of you guys are interested, the order of battle of the Columbian Army circa 2000 is available at: http://www.tbns.net/ijrikhye/oob/sit.../army2000.html (there's a 2001 update at www.orbat.com but you have to pay for it).

BTW, are you including the possibility of US intervention? According to orbat.com a US National Guard air mobile brigade has recently been mobalised following rummors that such a force would be sent to Columbia...

[Insurgent]

Yeah, I've looked at the BoB, but as you might have noticed, the scenario begins in 1974...

About Am. intervention:

- Besides, it ends in 2002 and the possibility of US intervention is only heating up now...
