I look forward to future supplements that expand this into conflicts that I'm more comfortable gaming, like Vietnam, and hopefully WWII. I find that I'm not completely comfortable gaming conflicts that have happened in the past decade, which is what this core book focuses on, despite a couple of sample scenarios from earlier periods.
