I am shifting tomorrow, and carrying all my books with me, to review for this thread in summary form. The list is listed at #52.

You're fine here, chill. I wish people knew how lucky they are to be here, not you, others who have not been on DFI. Do stay in touch with @Afif. There are 'things' in the offing.

Oh yes! My memory is shot to pieces.

Yes, that will be necessary. You will feel better able to cope once you have done this. In addition, we have to work out several protocols. This comes later, so please treat this as a preliminary head-up. How do we declare the positions and order of battle of our forces? How do we declare the...

নির্বাক!

So here is our chance. What are you waiting for? You will have to sign an oath of loyalty, of course! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I had in mind small exercises to test out contests that would fit into a jig-saw puzzle when considering the grand outline. Obviously can't name them here.

Do you suppose you could get some well-endowed member to buy a copy of CMO so that we can get familiar with it?

You forgot the Major, 'Panzerkiel'. A very good man, an officer and a gentleman.

An old-timer on PDF. In my personal rating, the three most respect-worthy members, in terms of general character and integrity, were 'niaz', 'Fatman17', who is a member here, to my absolute delight, and a much younger person who had this very awkward habit of changing his id every three months...

So both sides detailed their formations, defined the movement of these formations, and planned and executed air and sea attacks. There was a tremendous battle in the air, and significant numbers of aircraft were mowed down, both of the IAF and the PAF, with very strange figures emerging. Another...

Yup. Oscar, aka SQ8, had an electronic simulation of war, that listed various well-known weapons systems, and vessels and vehicles and aircraft, and handled encounters according to an internal algorithm. Both sides had to declare their force composition, that had to pass muster by Panzerkiel...

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Whatever was done until we all abandoned it due to other preoccupations must still be there. Nothing new has happened. It has been offered again, and Desert Fox (=Raja Porus) is champing at the bit to start. Immediately.

No, being offered anew.

Same name in the war game? Incidentally, I've been stalling any re-start, since without a team, it will fall right into the jaws of Desert Fox (he calls himself something else now, Raja Porus). Need volunteers. I also think that the 2030 time frame, that we had used earlier, needs updating...

Apologies, @hellfire2006. Are you the old @hellfire in a new avatar, or someone completely different?

One cannot but be impressed by what happens at higher echelons. From the Major's account, we get an impression of the relative burden taken up by 311 Brigade under Brigadier Mishra, and of 73 Brigade. Repeatedly, 73 Brigade was found wanting, its Brigade Commander never able to get on top of...

There is always hope. There will always be ups and downs. Those are to be ignored.

Two weeks of intense fighting followed. Most of the details were unknown at that time, but got detailed attention later. On the 17th, the papers were full of the surrender ceremony, and that iconic picture, and so here we are again, once more. So. Who's who? Standing: Joe's Mum, P. N...

Through October and November, the tension grew. While some very few got through the police cordons around the camps - remember that an epidemic was expected momentarily, that several million deaths were expected momentarily - most of the rest of us were identified, arrested, and put on a bus...
